Marketers escaping the US like it's the Titanic

Roughly three years ago (give or take a day or two), I sent my list the following email. I dare say it aged like fine wine... ==== Reader Daniel asks the doomsday question: "Do you have an escape plan for leaving the country if it gets too bad here? If so, where would you go? My online business is blowing up and I’m probably going to be making $400k-$500k this year ( made 303k in 2018). I’m thinking of using that money to get out while the getting is good. But I’m wondering if perhaps I’m too paranoid. Or ungrateful. Would love your perspective on this. Maybe could even be an email!" My thoughts on this are: 1. I have no plan to escape the US 2. But I do believe the smart folks predicting the US is likely to break up, probably in the next 15 years, and certainly when the politicians inevitably get rid of the electoral college 3. I suspect my state will go even more insanely leftwing than it is now, but there is a very small chance the part I am in will “break off” into something of its own and much more along the lines of where I’d want to be 4. I do not know exactly how this will play out overall logistically, but I have my suspicions I’ll keep to myself for now 5. Whatever happens, wherever you go, you cannot go wrong learning, honing, and mastering your ability to produce as the great Dan Kennedy calls it 6. For me, that ability to produce is not gardening, fishing, gathering, etc (all of which I suck at) it is selling 7. Thus, I am more focused than ever on that 8. The way I see it, wherever I end up, here, there, or anywhere… as long as the world doesn't go Mad Max, there will always be a need for people who can build businesses, sell products & services, and persuade & influence in other ways So that’s my 8-part answer. But since the lights are still on, the indoor plumbing still works for now, and the politicians in my state haven’t yet reduced my standard of living to 3rd world status (give them time…) with their inane woke policies and legislation and the horrifying unintended consequences of such, let’s get on to the business: ==== And so it is. If anything, the above predictions today are a lot more likely to happen. As three years ago I completely underestimated what timid little sheep so many of my fellow Americans are, doing whatever the media, anyone in a lab coat bought and paid for by the corporate media they see on TV using the word "sCiEnCE!", and their favorite political party says without even bothering to question it. And I am already making preparations (early stage) for potentially dealing with the coming fallout from it all. But that is another tale for another time. Personally, I believe times are about to get a whole lot more interesting. And now is the time to quadruple down on business activities.
