  1. If you ever tire of life in BC, try (northern) Idaho. Lower personal taxes, 6% sales tax (GST), lower cost of living, especially fuel and groceries. And all the firearms you can legally carry. Plus, it’s close to Canada for regular family visits.

  2.  @gary4507  Alas, no matter where you go or live, government(s), to a greater or lesser degree, will always try to to control people. It’s what they do, just like a dog scratching fleas. Indeed, even if a Republican manages to win the presidency in 2024, there probably won't be any real change. The crux of the matter is this: Your government does not fear or respect you. Its officials know they will not lose their cushy positions, no matter how many rights they violate. Plus, government has co-opted private businesses to do its bidding as well: Amazon, Google, Twitter, etc., are ALL in bed with the surveillance state that is modern day America. “Since mankind's dawn, a handful of oppressors have accepted the responsibility over our lives that we should have accepted for ourselves. By doing so, they took our power. By doing nothing, we gave it away. We've seen where their way leads, through camps and wars, towards the slaughterhouse.” ― Alan Moore, V for Vendetta, who also wrote, “People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.” The question is, what can/should be done to make government afraid? Cheers.

  3.  @AnasChemmala  "Scores aren't always correct..." Really? Every website and study that I've researched confirms the same results as in my original post one year ago. The UAE/Dubai continue to commit serious human rights violations, including arbitrary detention, cruel and inhuman treatment of detainees, suppression of freedom of expression, and violation of the right to privacy. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) continue to deprive stateless individuals of the right to nationality, impacting their access to a range of services. According to Human Rights Watch, the UAE detains those who criticize authorities, including hundreds of activists and academics, and Emirati laws discriminate against women, migrants and LGBT individuals. Flogging and stoning are legal forms of judicial punishment in the UAE due to Sharia courts. As a result, the UAE routinely ranks near the bottom of many international measures for human rights and press freedom. So if money is all you care about, then by all means live in Dubai/UAR. Just keep your opinions to yourself and you'll be fine.

  4. All hope abandon, ye that live in California. After having lived in the (not so) Golden State for nearly 40 years, we finally gave up on trying to adapt to the "progressively" worsening conditions. Which? Ever increasing taxes and bonded indebtedness by the left-wing (Democrat) state government; adding more benefits & services for illegals (oops, I mean undocumented immigrants). Governor Gavin (The Nuisance) Newsom--Nancy Pelosi's great nephew through marriage--is still living in the 1970's, knowing only how to increase taxes and the size of government. Although California has the highest corporate, personal, sales and gasoline taxes in the nation, infrastructure is crumbling. The roads are in deplorable condition, especially in the Bay area. On a recent visit to family, there were so many large cracks, dips and potholes, that I was actually concerned about damage to my car's suspension. But at the same time, the legislature decided to fund the "high-speed rail" train (to nowhere) pork-barrel project, which ballooned from its original budget of $25 billion to nearly $70 billion, at last count. They finally gave up and suspended the whole hairbrained project. Air pollution, urban sprawl and gang violence are all out of control. We said, "Enough!" and relocated to *******, and have never had any cause to regret our decision. Our adopted home has a much smaller, less intrusive state government, along with modest, reasonable taxes, and, for the most part, excellent infrastructure. And the violent crime rate is miniscule compared to CA. People here can still leave their cars unlocked at the local shopping mall--I don't, too many years of living in CA, I guess. Any middle class people that still persist in staying in California deserve what's coming to them. No pity on them whatsoever.

  7.  @davidrieger8816  None of this is happening by accident. The design of the ruling class elites is to keep the rest of us “commoners” both poor and struggling to make ends meet. Makes the populace much more docile and easier to control. Billion$ for the bankers—debt$ for the people. Cheers, although there’s nothing to be happy about.

  8. “Getting your head chopped off with a sword…” Hmm…last time I checked, that particular peril was in very short supply here in North America. Maybe getting shot in any large urban environment is possible, but not much swordplay here.

  9. Wherever Russians congregate in large numbers (military or civilian) that place soon turns into 🐕💩.

  11.  @steveseclecticadventures1894  Care to elaborate on that statement? Are you referring to me, or to Andrew?

  12.  @steveseclecticadventures1894  Indeed, they are. Thanks for the clarification. Maranatha.

  13. What you’re really saying is that you want to find heaven on earth. No such place exists. As for the “globalist agenda,” if it really exists, then there’s no escaping it, even in Mexico. For us, the middle class, there are only “better” places to move to. Outside of CA, for sure. After living in the (not so) golden state for over 35 years, we did relocate to a better place in the USA. Think maybe (Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, etc.) If you don’t mind some colder weather, they can be great places: lower taxes, far less crime and smaller, less intrusive government(s). Cheers and good luck.

  14.  @xomox5316  I couldn't say, as I have no interest in this commodity. I was just making a play on the words posted by "USA." Like gold, silver, etc., commodities go up and down, so timing is everything when buying or selling. Cheers.

  18. Why on earth would you want ANY government (especially the U.S. govt) to be “efficient?” That would mean they could enact their nefarious programs more easily and take away your rights, and money, with less delay. I recall reading of a certain national government in Europe that operated “efficiently” during the 1930’s and 1940’s, headed up by a mustachioed politician. That certainly didn’t end well.

  19. "The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. The process engages all of the hidden forces of economics on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner that not one man in a million can diagnose." - John Maynard Keynes
