If the US economy went belly up..

[TecHNooB]

.. would you stay or move? Where would you move?

I'd probably move to Asia somewhere to see my brethren in their natural habitat

Assume 1930s depression levels.

[manlymatt83]

You mean when? Depends. If it was because the government shrunk and everyone freaked out, I'd stick around for a while to see whether something better emerged.

 

[OverVolt]

1950's was pretty great what are you talking about? lol.

I would move somewhere with a smaller wage gap, since the USA has grown quite a large wealth gap. Germany looks pretty good. So does Norway and Australia. Just depends which ones economy is doing better. Hell even Canada isn't so bad.

If the US economy tanked that bad, odds are, we'd take the economies of many other nations with us...and those would take others...and so on...

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

I'd probably shoot for Germany since that's where the American dream pretty much lives now a days ironically.

I already want to get the F out of Texas, might as well skip the country entirely too. I'll go with Switzerland. Beautiful country.

If the Americans tank there's not much point in coming to Canada. We are too intertwined to avoid collapse if the Yanks collapse.

I'd stay here. Economic swings don't seem to affect my area as badly as some others.

If the US economy really did go belly up there's probably no place you could go to escape the economic fallout. The global economy is too interconnected and the US still far too big a player for there to be any country that wouldn't suffer greatly in such a situation. Give it 5 to 10 years though and China will probably take the US' position as top economic dog. Though even then the US going under would hurt everyone a lot.

 

[Elias824]

If the U.S collapses then everyone else is going to be in bad shape too, not only that but you probably couldn't go anywhere because any countries doing better then the U.S would close their doors pretty fast.

If? Isn't it headed in that direction already?

Yeppers. Canada would go belly up. My US dollar savings would tank. Stocks in the shitter. Good times...

Agreed 100% but it's interesting to see how well we have faired in this resession compared to the US.

At the moment the US government is preventing me from taking my natural position in my community (alpha male). When the government collapses I will grab my rifle and assemble a group of like minded individuals (no liberals). We will then impose our will with force.

rape the horses and kill the women eh?

 

[schneiderguy]

I'll only kill some of them. I plan to select the women I deem to be at least 8/10 and use them for breeding purposes. We will only breed them with males that are 6' and above, so in time we will have a population free of manlets.

I'd likely stay for the revolution. I also like the looks of Russia. Lots of places to disappear over there.

And lots of people to make you disapear too.

 

[bmaverick]

I'd go home to my parents. They live in the country and are almost totally self supporting on the farm. I would avoid any city over 35,000 people if possible. I would have to ditch the desktop and use the laptop off of the grid using renewable energy stand-alone sources.
