Dear @dollarvigilante. This does seem to be rather like the case of the Titanic in that until some experience water on their person, there are no issues. However the facts are very different, things are happening as you have specified in your article.
A query emerges from several on Steemit, is there still time to leave the US? Where would you suggest they seek guidance? It is projected that many will seek to leave over the next few years, mostly young people. All the best. Cheers.
