I have a friend that is currently living in La Paz; Mexico and they will be bracing for a Hurricane this weekend. With the US economy treating non wealthy Americans like shit, expect places like Panama, Mexico, Belize, and Costa Rica to yearly on a consistent basis see retirees looking to retire abroad but stay as close to America as humanly possible. Dominican Republic and Haiti- too poor.  Venezuela, Colombia, Nicaragua, too unstable. And the Virgin Islands and Bahamas- too rich.    In the next generation-  there will be an inverse effect. I feel people will literally be RETIRING to Idaho-Montana-North Dakota- South Dakota- New Mexico-and rural areas around the Bible Belt.  Palms will be replaced with Oaks- Beaches with Plains- And Boat Houses with Farms. As the disgusting and clearly visible gulf between the working class and the 1% widens regardless of WHO is in office.

If you want to go even further off the grid- you can live like a royal king in Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia. As long as you can deal with non-direct 30 hrs of travel. 

Be safe MEXICO!

SHIT just keeps happening……….Taiwan Earthquake could end up killing thousands.

In the last two weeks, there was a devastating terror attack in Moscow, an entire bridge collapse in the US, and now an Earthquake in Taiwan that currently has “thousands” trapped under rubble.  Try to think of that when we are complaining about “our” days.   https://www-laestrella-com-pa.translate.goog/mundo/cerca-de-un-millar-de-personas-atrapadas-en-la-montana-tras-el-fuerte-terremoto-de-taiwan-AJ6803147?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc At least 654 …
