      I basically dgaf about - oh I dunno - 178 million of them. You know, the 77 million who voted for this fascist clownshow plus the 101 million who didn’t even bother voting. They can all rot in their self-made hell for all I care.

      What else would you do, reluctantly, for money?
      See, Larry Ellison owns about 98% of the island of Lanai. He’s got a bunker there.
      Zuckerberg also owns property on Lanai, has a bunker there (a Lanai local told me), in addition to his ranch on Kauai.
      Peter Thiel, probably similar. Musk, similar… Oprah, etc.
      So we’ll get you the GoFundMe money, but we have a mission for you…

      Realistically Canada is going to put off allowing asylum seekers from the US as long as possible, as the volumes of asylum seekers the US handles (that are no longer welcome there) would overwhelm Canada. That’s without considering American asylum seekers too.

      You best bet is to consider immigrating through traditional, economic based pathways.

      Never is in red, absolutely is in green, the entire map is colored red. There is nothing but the never red shown anywhere on the map beyond the key.

      It is a bad choice for the colors chosen, as they are the perfect red/green opposite for color blindness to see as the same color.

      Note: this not written as snarky to Fly_Dutch_Rudder, itt is meant as a helpful explanation of the map.
