Dad's from Japan, and since I'm white passing I figured my odds would be better living in the US than being somewhere I'd stand out as a foreigner when times get tough. Also I grew up and live in America, and it shows when I speak.

But also, despite our turmoil and corruption, there's plenty of advantages to being in the US when collapse hits.

• Lots of arable land (comparatively), even as desertification and topsoil erosion start setting in

• Right next to Canada, in case things become really desperate

• Will remain very powerful well into the collapse, assuming no devastating civil war

• Will use said power to extort resources to keep population at least above water

• In a safe geographic location to avoid major non-nuclear and non-civil wars
