@FirefighterGeek I'm Canadian. I don't think I'd welcoming of the idea; we take pride in the fact that we *aren't Americans.*
Beyond that, I often wonder how the US stays together; as a futurist, I don't think it can, and I don't think it will; I think 25 to 50 years out, the nation as we know it will cease to exist. When I go down this rabbit hole, I start to think about how it implodes - does it occur violently, and if so, what happens when we get waves of refugees flooding our border?
