- I provided this warning 10 years ago.
- I REITERATED THE WARNING since 2020.
- If you ignored this, IDGAF.
If you live in a city, any city, on Earth, you should have moved away from that place 10 years ago. 10 years ago you could have taken your resources, “knowledge” (not sure what knowledge you have that will help you in the world to come, but okay), and those people and things you care about. 10 years ago you would have still had enough time to build social capital, to understand your neighbors, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: to methodically select an ideal location. You would have missed out on “profits” from your mortgage-based housing scheme and this is true; those profits will not help you now.
If you decide to put your home up for sale TODAY and you live in a city, you are looking for either a large private fund (they are gating and closing up right now) to buy your home (Blackrock) or for the next fool (someone dumber than you, like the fools moving to Florida). You live in a place that ships in most of its food in a JIT environment, a place that requires industrial water treatment, a place that is likely near toxic industries or boiling water nuclear power plants. You probably, if you live in a city, live near a primary target: that’s a first strike target for those nuclear powers that have missiles pointed at us. You could try to sell your home today, you might make a wise decision about where to move, but it’s probably too late. Soon, you will see two kinds of signs everywhere: a) “MOVING SALE” and b) “FOR SALE”. If it hasn’t happened in your city neighborhood yet, it will soon.
Don’t move to Florida, I’m too tired to explain why.
Don’t move anywhere near the oceans, at all.
You need to be as far away as possible from boiling water nuclear power plants: these are the most dangerous kinds that require the most supervision, even “decommissioned” plants can be lurking disasters.
If you plan on staying in your city? – I hope there is a navigable body of water nearby, because you won’t be escaping by car, plane or train. If you can’t afford a 19 foot West-Wight Potter trailer sailor? – next best bet are kayaks, dry bags, small baggage floats you can pull behind you with food, water, tents. You will need to practice. You will need to know WHERE you plan on going, because you just don’t want to hit the water with no plan. But, tbh, even now, you’re better off abandoning your home, hoping you can sell it, and GTFO of the cities.
Cities will descend into a hellish landscape faster than you can imagine and as bad as your city is RIGHT NOW, it will become so much worse.
During heat waves, assuming you still have electricity, homeless people will bust down your door for shelter from the heat LONG BEFORE they die of hunger and heat waves are going to be fucking harsh this summer in almost all major US cities. And these heat waves will persist for YEARS if not DECADES and only get worse. Other than chemically nucleated “winter”, don’t expect a real one for a long time.
Pretty much no one sees this and most of my family rarely talks to me now – not unless they get a visit from the Secret Service first (ha, but true). I have very few real friends. I have a few FEDs that monitor me, pretend to be “pals”, but I might have at most 1-3 real friends and none are local. I have one family member I can depend on and that’s more than most. No one is going to see this, not really, and I simply don’t give a fuck.
If your comment is “I’m just living my life”, fine – you could have gotten the fuck out of the cities 10 years ago and lived a better life, a more real and healthier one. If your “freedom” is about watching your city descend into cannibalism AND WORSE, then that’s for you pal – and don’t fucking complain.
GOOD FUCKING LUCK!
Boblimptock is nearly over.
Grinken Time is not far away.
(have fun with your city life while it lasts)
BTW: DO NOT MOVE ANYWHERE BELOW 300 FEET SEA LEVEL … or do … IDGAF.
