We’re going to need to stick together and help our most vulnerable if we are to survive the next four years.

    Leave? And go where?

    Europe is also on a steady march towards fascism, racism, and homophobia with a strong helping of the threat of Russian aggression. Climate change is an extreme risk worldwide. Money isn’t going to save you. Maybe if you are a billionaire you can buy comfort for the rest of your life.

    So, wealthy isn’t enough. Filthy rich is the only answer…maybe.

      I have no ability to leave and think it is morally repugnant to leave the indigent, and oppressed to fend for themselves. As you said, you can run away from your problems or try and fix the problems. Most assuredly though, money that should be taxed keeps those with it away from the consequences of conflict.
