Not the CB, but the US?

Things are feeling a lot like the decades before the Civil War to me. I think we are headed for a blow up, not right away but maybe within my lifetime, certainly within my children's lifetime. I've seen this movie in different eras, different nations, different continents and it NEVER ends well.

So I've been investigating moving to a different country. Seriously. I don't want to be here for what I think is coming. Unfortunately, what I found is that unless you have a lot of money, which I don't, other countries really don't want to know about you. The rich always have options, of course, but schlubs like me who have a good retirement income find it isn't good enough to be let in anywhere else.

Except Portugal. Good ex pat community, good food, good health care, welcoming to retirees. And Uruguay, of all places. Go figure.

Anyone else getting antsy about the tenor of the times?
