Yeah, I think it is inescapable and always seems to tie back to the police used as enforcers by the politicians. That you can buy your way in also should give pause. You're now marked as someone with loot and high on the list for future looting, er shakedowns. When you make very little, $50 is a lot of cash. Refering to beat cops; it might be like Russia where your daily life if punctuated by paying "tolls".

get yourself a citizenship of Grenada, Dominica or St Kitts.

I do like this idea. One thing to factor in is the expense of shipping anything in. Some of those countries are resource poor with little made/sourced locally except food. This drives the price of used goods way up. Not surprising since a major component of their economies is agrarian.

Of the 3, Dominica has the most as far as natural resources & industry. They all have sand but Dominica also has clay & potentially copper. Am surprised that none of these countries developed a glass industry since they have plenty of sand. Dominica could do glass and add ceramics & possibly metals. It also is fully energy independent because they have hydro. Energy abundance key for both glass & ceramics. They also use oil & LNG but can get by without it -

Dominica has tremedous potential but seems to have gone slow to increase it. This outline is specific to their agro sector, they barely scratch the surface for what they could do -

But they do have a decent manufacturing base. I looked into Dominica 20 years ago and it was nowhere near this promising. It's key that wherever you go is able to build things. Besides the obvious employment opportunities, factories can modify what they currently make to make other goods. Given enough time they can completely retool and build entirely different goods. In that regard Dominica seems well suited to build upon what it already has -

Have never looked into their political side, i.e. corruption though. Overall however Dominica looks like a winner from the 30,000 feet.

Florida has the right policies currently, but the states regularly hit by hurricanes...Florida will not do well in a societal collapse situation.

I don't live in FL but I beg to differ that it will not do well if in a collapse. In Miami or Jax, sure. Just like LA & SF. Inland or up in the Redneck Riv? Nope, probably the safest place to be. Same for coastal Alabama. If it weren't for the wretched heat AL would be top of my list.

In Florida they are likely wondering why anyone would live in California with so many earthquakes. And in the midwest it's tornados and in the northest it's crushing cold winters. None of the people there worry about them, they just deal.

The lack of water

Blame the environmentalist idiots for that one. California relies on snowpack only for it's water reserve. Mild winter = no stored water later. Something like 50 dams (might even be more) and the massive reservoirs of stored water behind them were taken down over the last 50 years to "save the environment". With that gone there is nothing to draw from during drought.

San Francisco

Stay out of SF. It was once a fantastic city and now it's a shithole like everywhere else liberals encamp longterm. Detroit was once referred to as "The Paris of the Midwest" too.

This is why I want to move where it’s green again. Where we can buy land, grow food, open carry, and own real guns with real ammo, and stand our ground.

You could move inland to a red area (most of the farm regions in CA are) or evaluate a northern Nevada one. Reno/Sparks/Carson City used to be decent and there is enough civilization there for jobs while you restart. Farther west is UT & WY, both big enough to find deals on land but you'd like be far away from any city.

Open carry is overrated, why would you want to hang a target around your neck? Go for your CCW or move to a state where you don't need one and can crry without it. You don't want anyone to know you are armed, ever. That's not a deterrent, it's a trouble magnet.

Ex-Californian (thankfully). Once upon a time CA had an extensive water storage program. Nearly every dam held back 100s to 1000s of acres of water to be released when there was drought. Then came the environmentalists saying this was unnatural and upset nature's balance. "We'll rely on snowpack right guyz? That's how it worked before all those fish killing dams were built.". So one by one most of the dams came down and CA relied on snowpack.

All was fine until one season there was very little snow. And with little snow no water went into the rivers & streams and farmers were hit hard every drought. But when there is a lot of snowpack, when it melts there is nowhere to put it as most of the water storage behind the dams is gone. So, the fresh water is diverted into the sea to keep it from flooding along the rivers. Unless of course there is a remaining dam in the way like in Oroville. When it rains too much and without any way to moderate that via dams upstream, those downstream get hammered -

With my extended family over the weekend, they've all been vaxxed. Getting some shit from them along the lines of "Why aren't you?". "Why would I need to if everyone else has?" was my answer which for once left them without any comeback.

At best, if you get the "vaccine" the only thing you can say is that you are part of a global beta test.

Agree, the manufacturer may use Fedex as their drop ship virtual warehouse rather than warehouse them in their own building. Especially if the Fedex one is in a central location.

Worked in hospitals for many years and familiar with how they handle corpses. It use to be that the body was left in the bottom sheet and transported to the morgue with that alone and put in the fridge. The funeral home would come with their own heavy duty bag and transfer the body into that. Would like to hear from a current hospital employee but I'd bet all bodies now go into a disposable body bag to comply with COVID-19 guidelines, worker safety, etc.

Everything on that train was logistic & support related. Did not see the warfighting armor, just a few uparmored HMMV. There were mobile command, medical, security, and hauling vehicles, what you'd need to support the main effort...wherever that is.
