That depends on your definition of "future".
If you mean sometime way down the road, probably.
If you mean in the upcoming months/years, absolutely.
We are fucked, as in going to be socialist, because the "free shit" crowd is too large and too stupid to see what they are excitedly rushing into.

However, they will die in droves, of their own stupidity. All we have to do is stay far enough away. Kind of like not being too close to a sinking ship, so as not to be sucked down with it.

Agreed, as far as it goes.

The little-steps method the would-be rulers are using has, for them, one major Achilles heel....they're stuck with little steps until the very end. Some portions of the US are going to say "Enough." and secede. It's gonna tick off Ear Leader's Free Shit Army, as it is gonna cut into their accustomed allotment of free shit.

You are so right. Look at Valenzuela they are so cash strapped they are raising their gas rates 2000%. That is from .08 cents to $1.60. Their leaders vilify business so no one wants to do anything, sound familiar. The biggest problem is when the country is run into the ground how do you recover??? If we were looking at a business then it would be ripe for take over. So do we let China come in an take over.............

Rulers. No leading done down there since Chavez.

Any help the US would tender would be called imperialism. China's logistics chain is too long at this time.

The prudent soul, with any grain of wit in his head, will read back from Chavez's appearance on the scene to the present bunch and take notes, if for no other reason than to see what to avoid.

I noticed you have California split in two, it's the wrong way. If you were to cut Oregon, Washington and California right down the middle you would find that those on the east side would be well aligned with Idaho and Nevada. However the portion along the coast just needs a good earthquake to all into the Pacific.......they will not be missed..........well most of them at least..

BTW you might Google the state of Jefferson! I can only wish....

The notion of a large land sliding into the ocean... No. Tearing away from the mainland, yes. Similar to what Japan is like.

The destruction such a event would cause would finish off whoever was left, post-SHTF. If it was to happen before a SHTF event, it just might set SHTF off, under OUTLAW or TICKERTAPE.

As to "Jefferson"...yes, the Six Californias Initiative.

Top to bottom, left to right:

Jefferson

Northern California

Silicon Valley

Central California

Western California

Southern California

The measure was slated for 2016, but the power junkies had just enough on the ball to know this would cut into their fat checks and fatter privileges.

*ahem* to be the role of devil's advocate... I am in favour of socialism. Canada has been a democratic socialist for a very long time... and we're doing ok. Now I'm not talking about standing in food lines for your daily allotment of bread and milk, but ensuring that basic needs of society are met... most definitely.

The US and Canada are very quite similar in both of their leanings - Capitalism and Socialism - meaning that you will only stay in the station that you were allotted at birth. Sure some, if not many may rise like cream above the rest, but unless you were there already, chances are you will never break the "elite" barrier.

Most, if not all of us on here, can attest to this. We have all busted our asses to better the versions of ourselves in our 20s, our 30s, 40s or even 50s, yet we continue to have the same problems... finite resources, limited free time, job prospects, and our own hard worked for money. Capitalism and socialism are part and parcel because .gov operates the same in both respects.... only for the rich.

This is just where my mind goes to when the subject comes up.
