No, I will not go to Mexico. My landlords and the owner of this property are considering fleeing the United States after this latest fiasco. A dictator who promises to put the hurt on people exactly like them. And honestly, I wouldn’t blame them if they did. But that would also leave me in a lurch. They would sell the place and I would once again be without a home. They say they would want me to go with them. But I have my reasons I would say no to that.
Because yes, losing rights and democracy is a huge issue. But climate change is going to be even more deadly. Especially in hot humid areas rife tropical diseases running rampant, climate disasters, and gang violence. It would be safer to be nomadic and in the north. So if it comes to that, if they decide to go that route, I will once again cut my losses. It will hurt, I won’t deny that. But I can survive heartache. I have for most of my life anyway.
So that leaves me feeling that I don’t want to put too much effort into the homestead until I get a feel of how things are going to go. Of course I say that even as I go outside to plant some flower bulbs and work on filling raised beds with rotting wood…..
I just don’t feel a whole lot of hope right now. Not with the orange fool who loves to roll back any kind of improvements to the environment that have been made. Being in a blue state helps with some fears, but still, there is no telling how things will go. There are evil ones in the blue states as well.
