  • The easiest way to survive Kristal Nacht 2: Electric Boogaloo is to get outta there before it happens. Stockpiling some food and “hunkering down” isn’t gonna keep you safe. Get outta there.

    What does America offer that you can’t get in Europe, Canada, Australia, etc?

    Brain drain the fascist state to a standstill.

    The earlier you do it, the higher your chances of being accepted into other countries. They may block American refugees if there becomes an exodus. It also means you have time to sell unnecessary items instead of possibly having to abandon them.

    Good luck, whatever path you choose.

    “Only a fool breaks the 2 second rule.”

    I was taught to repeat that phrase, at a normal steady pace, when I saw the back of their car go past something, to use as a marker (a signpost, the end of one of the lines on the road, whatever).

    If you finish the phrase after the front of your car has gone past the same marker, then you don’t have a big enough braking distance and need to ease off a bit.








  • Does it matter? Ultimately, these are estimates. Educated, data backed estimates, but still estimates.

    One larger than expected volcanic eruption, coral reefs dying faster than expected, whatever, all it takes is one or two things to not go the way they’re expected and everything speeds up.

    20 years or 25 years, the point is we’re all kinda fucked unless we do something about it.

    What we need to do has been and will continue to be debated ad nauseam, but we know we must do something.





  • Energy costs many times what it did too

    Perhaps for the consumer, not for the energy providers

    What costs more? Gas or wind? Oil or solar? Coal or wave?

    There’s a premium charged for new technology, sure. To cover R&D costs, new tooling, etc, but once the machinery is made, the fuel is essentially free. The wind blows itself, the sun has its own fuel, the tides move freely

    Energy arbitrarily costs more because those that sell it have decided it costs more. Aka corporate greed, which is what this post is complaining about in the first.
