    Tornado Alley has shifted to the southeast over the past few decades, that is true. But people have populated the Great Plains, where Tornado Alley used to be centered, for many generations. Why don’t you think your community will survive where others have survived?

      That’s just one issue.

      Let’s take a step further.

      Just in the last few years, here in the US, we have had chemical spills due to deregulation that have polluted our water and our air. This affects not only humans, but the local wildlife in those areas.

      Getting medical help, here in the US, is about as hard pulling your own teeth out without any help. Sure, you may be able to get it done, especially so if you are more well off, but for a great many including myself, trying to get any medical help is just asking yourself to be in debt for what could be, depending on how bad your health is, a lifetime of debt that you will never be able to pay off.

      Education in the US is at an all time low. Thanks to Republicans, we have less and less funding for our public schools. They’ve also got these fools thinking homeschooling is for the best, which means less children in the seats at school, which means even less funding for those that can’t homeschool or can’t afford a private school. In these same schools, they refuse to feed children who are mandated by the government to be there. While there are programs, lots of parents are too embarrassed or flat out refuse to acknowledge that they are poor. This leads to kids going hungry, because the government refuses to pay for their meals, and the parents refuse to sign them up for reduced/free lunch.

      I could add more, I’m sure, but there are a great many many varying reasons why we are fucked. You just have to look around, and stay informed.

      I wish you the best.

          I’m no professional who has spent their entire lives studying these things, so I can not give you a definitive answer. The best I could do is provide you with the information for you to make your own informed deduction, which I have done.

              Good job missing all those points that were right in front of your eyeballs, but you do you homie. I just hope that it comes to fruition for you.

                  Live here, in the now. Go see the world. Go do new things. Experience the world while you still can.

                  Saving can wait when you know the world will be worth saving for.
