It's been one year since my first post on Substack. This was the post. I think it holds up well. On the other hand, the federal government is not holding up well. How much worse will it get?
Actually voters apparently have little say unless have enough wealth to buy influence
So only real option if you don’t like what government does is to emigrate to another country
We do have more choices in terms of employment but that’s a two way street need to convince that employer to hire you
And we have choices in consumerism if have some money
I am investigating quieter countries to move to
As not sure I like all the drama of a dying hegemon
But of course not every country accepts expats
And some are very selective
Lots of fun
Actually some people intentionally live in poverty so don’t pay income tax to support the MIC
That’s their choice
The two parties are ruining this country. But don't presume it's better everywhere else.
Definitely not better everywhere else
I used a service that generates a ranking list based on ones likes
Switzerland came up number 1 for me
Unfortunately not an easy place to retire too or emigrate too
Have met a person with Swiss citizenship and he said he cannot afford to live there
In any case I am looking will take years to move as have family commitments
But it’s interesting
