Do you think you'll die in the same society you were born in?

[Fizzzzle]

I know that's a nebulous question. You can take it however you want. Do you think that when you die, the United States will still be a thing? Do you think the UN will become a state? Will WW3 start over Taiwan? Will climate change render all of it moot?

 

I personally don't think WW3 will start over Taiwan. The CCP aren't that stupid. It's one thing to keep pushing their claims in the south China sea, it's another to push their claim on another sovereign nation that has a bunch of big Western beefy boys as a defense.

I wasn't born in the United States and the chances of me dying back in Trinidad are relatively low, so that answer is already "no" at the outset

 

As for the United States as a social/political/economic entity, I do not believe that it will exist in its current arrangement by the time I expire.

Did someone say "society"?

Same. My wife and daughter have EU passports so we plan on moving to Europe possibly when my daughter is ready for college if she plans on attending in Europe or after she graduates. My preference is either Italy or Spain.

I was born into an old school cult that was fairly different than the America I've grown into over time. I will likely die an American,  so I'll go with kinda?

I moved years ago, but was born in a pretty socially/culturally dumb environment and especially backwards and insensitive (sometimes hostile) towards LGBTQA perspective, so the goal would be not to end up in that situation again  ^_^

I would like to thank the populations of England and Wales for rendering my UK passport absolutely useless.  I'm not even going to bother renewing it upon expiration.

[Fizzzzle]

My brother and his mom are Italian citizens, that doesn't do shit for me, though. Every time I've lived with them, I did so illegally. Or when I lived with them in Ireland, I would just hop a flight to England every few weeks and get my passport stamped on the way back in

I guess a better way to phrase this question (now that I'm sober) is - do you think the united States (or Canada, or the UK if you're @gamer.tv) will exist in its current form by the time you're dead?

Yeah even in Hunger Games it really didn't change much.

I turned 36 today, and I’m only planning to live until I’m 69 so I can have been married to my wife for 50 years. 2054 seems beyond reasonable to expect the US to still be around. But I also have a deal in place to acquire a hotel in Costa Rica in 2023, which I plan to gut and remodel and keep one of the suites for me and my family where we will probably spend 2-3 months a year at.

Sadly that did happen when we announced the engagement to my family. If my mom gets enough wine in her, she will still let slip “you aren’t part of this family”-type comments even though we are approaching 10 years together (married for 7). Since her family is much nicer, make sense to move near them. 😂 

 

Happy Birthday!

I am just happy my parents stopped bemoaning anchor babies once I married one

 

And thanks, boo 😘
