Ah, lucky. All the banks around me seem to require it now. My kingdom for an independent authenticator they’d accept!

How do you get around 2FA? I was able to stay off of phones for so long, but the standard 2FA implementation has made it impossible.

I’m sure they’ll be powered by gen AI chatbots, so just tell them it would be helpful if they’d get you the water.

Um. This isn’t really an outlier leadership anymore. It’s happened twice, and the vote in favor of it got bigger rather than smaller. Trump campaigned on doing this, and his vote share increased. A large proportion of Americans clearly want America First and America Alone, and maybe they don’t understand the consequences of that, but that’s what they want. I’m not saying the US is going to collapse, way too big of a bet to make, but to say no one will surpass the US in the near term… I dunno. I think you might be getting caught in American exceptionalism.

I think the world is reorienting itself. It’s going to be very painful for us, but we’ll get through it. And America will rattle its sabers and dream of Empire.

Even if the new country is a convenient tax haven, does the new country have educated population, large workforce, good infrastructure, good rule of law?

Does the US? Rule of law is failing. Larger workforces exist elsewhere. The education system is being systematically defunded. The infrastructure has been falling apart for years and I’m pretty sure the money for rebuilding was stopped in Feb.
