This is the article that answers the question many of you ask me nearly every time we meet:
How much time is left to leave America?
My answer never changes:
If you can leave now, why wait?
That is the correct answer. And it’s correct for a couple of obvious reasons:
If tomorrow’s joy and a better life await on the far side of the Rubicon, why delay?
If you believe the barbarians are at the gate, why pretend you have time?
As my former boss, Donald Rumsfeld, once said: “War is delayed to your detriment.”
But this question—how much time is left—reveals something deeper:
Some people don’t want to leave. They’re clinging to hope that things will change. So they stall—waiting.
Others can’t leave yet. They need time to prepare, to build the bridge out. So they ask how long they have before the door slams shut.
Whatever your case, this article will walk you through the rubric I use to evaluate the collapse of the American republic. You’ll be able to see what I see—and decide how much sand is left in your own hourglass.
