If you had the financial ability to:
1. Buy whatever type of house you wanted in whatever country you wanted...
2. Fly your family in whenever you wanted or be able to fly to see them whenever you felt like it...
3. Do your job wherever you went...
If you had the means and were not trapped here by money, job, property, or family...
Would you bail on the good ol' US of A until calmer heads prevailed?
Sadly, I kinda think I would. There are cool places on the planet that would be awesome to experience. I can get US sports on any multitude of media platforms in any country. And I somewhat feel like the next 30+ years of my life are going to be me in my later years watching this country fizzle out. Maybe dramatic...but feels like we're too fucked to correct the tailspin.
Hate to say it. Hate we're here. I think I'd rock Northern Europe. Or Canada. British Columbia would be way cool.
