CRS Is it really that BAD!

Not yet, but I want to be ready!  Better to have loaded firearms than empty iron & a bunch of cartridges in boxes.  

I'll let you know if I hear of anything dire.  Right now, it is the early phase of the epidemic in the US, with community borne infection.  We are all likely to get it eventually.  Thank you, Chinese Death Star as Kilt calls it!

Why Mexico?

a) we live about 40 miles away 

b)  I do consulting work down there and have connections 

c)  I speak fluent Spanish 

d)  I could barter my degree and expertise with the government 

e)  money goes farther 

f)  drugs and medical care are much less expensive if you pay cash

g)  it gets us the hell away from Trump & the USA. 

I'd have to leave (most of) the guns on this side of the border, but that's OK.  I have ways to deal with that.   We moved here exactly one year ago as part of our preparation for eventual disaster in the USA, I don't regret our decision one tiny bit. 

Thanks Chuck. I agree about the people risk. We selected our place very carefully too, and I think we made the right decision. Personally I think the risk to the global economy is greater than the risk to people at large. I know people will die but the majority won't, but all will be impacted if the world's economies collapse. The vast majority simply aren't prepared for that and neither are the governments. It could have such catastrophic implications on society that it's not something governments can prepare for. We are certainly living in interesting times. It's good to have a plan.
