You have a loose grip on reality. Look at the 2016 election map again--if you ever bothered to look in the first place. The Clinton supporting areas will, very clearly, be the places that will become hell on earth within a day or two of the lights going out.

For me and mine and all the Trump fans near me it will not be any great problem--for a few months anyway.

What would you say is the number one threat to lead to an end-of-the-world-like scenario? A terrorist attack? An EMP strike? A natural disaster? An economic collapse?

All of these are possibilities, but in each one, a thick population density will make it far worse. There’s no denying that people panic when a crisis occurs, and that panic is only multiplied when more people are living closely to one another.

Completely disagree with that bullshit list.

Hawaii poor farming soil? FFS you can live off the sea and the natural produce with relative ease. Plus it rains alot, water everywhere.

Alaska shouldn't be on there either. People in the northern regions tend to accumulate supplies for 6 months to a year at a time, and so many homes are naturally off the grid.

Re: The 5 Places In America You DON’T Want To Be When Society Collapses
In the Great Depression, most people lost their land and their homes due to not paying taxes or bank payments. Even though the banks were closed, and you couldn't make a payment even if you had the money, they still foreclosed on property. That is how the banksters, including the Rothschild led Federal Reserve Bank, came to own much of America. When the depression was over, the banks had all the property and the working people had nothing. It was the perfect setup for the globalist banksters to start another "Great War". Most American males needed a job, and being killed in the war meant their families would get the government insurance check. That is where the expression "bought the farm" comes from. When a man was killed in action, the insurance payment was just enough to pay off a small farm.

Rural ares which are more Republican will avoid at least the initial anarchy the cities see.

Hawaii does have very poor soil (mostly volcanic) for growing non-native produce. It is rated a ZERO (0) by Joel Skousen, who wrote "Strategic Relocation".

As soon as the SHTF, you have millions of people trapped on islands with NO supplies coming in. Many of these people HATE "Haoles" (ethnic non-Hawaiians), and would see this as an opportunity to "retake" their homeland.

If you want to try to survive in Alaska, you had better have a LOT of cash. Not only is everything super expensive, you have to factor THAT in, when you go to buy that 6 months (or a year) worth of supplies, which costs a fortune.

Proximity to Popeyes locations should be part of the formula for where you don't want to be.

Walmarts and other fast "food" places can also be factors in determining a shithole.

I was working on a formula a while back that included population density,dollar store density,fast"food" density,church density,certain demographics,etc.

A little more work and it couldda been done.

Article is non-sensible.


Seems to think that after society collapses, then you should be somewhere that does not have a high cost of living, high taxes and regulation?


That won't be an issue if society is collapsed. Neither will traffic.

Claims that Alaska "planes and ships will likely no longer be making shipments, greatly limiting available resources". DUH?

Obviously the authors weren't talking about a collapse, but something else.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78109820


chuckle

No kidding. I always get a kick out of these prepper articles that assume, in a societal collapse scenario, society will continue somehow. If the power is out or the Chinese invade, there won't be any tax collector sending you a bill every year, the EPA will be the last of your concerns, and your rent payment just went to zero. I've even seen someone give prep advice to be debt free. What good is that going to do you when there are no credit card companies left to collect?

Re: The 5 Places In America You DON’T Want To Be When Society Collapses
I can think of dozens of places I don't want to be when SHTF hits, but I can only think of one place I want to be.

I'd like to be in West Virginia, in a Coal Mining town, where we can escape deep underground. Riding the elevator down, down, down, down. Deep into the coal mine. Down there, they have generators, and equipment, and miles, and miles, of tunnels. And once down there, nobody else is coming down.

Now, I'm not suggesting staying underground for a long time is a great idea, unless it has been pre-prepped for just such a situation, which maybe some mines are? Who knows?

But you are not getting an invite to a coal mine unless you got miners as friends. It is said (how would I know) that in some of these old mines, there are significant resources stockpiled, and even massive grow rooms with high intensity lights to grow....tomatoes. And the tunnels connect to other mines, and exit shafts, and who knows what else is going on down there.

All this, underneath mountains of rock above. At the very least, it might be a good place to ride out a nuclear attack, or an EMP/Solar Flare...or just a quick Civil War.

Well....this is all just speculation. Right?
