The Gulch is still there

For all those who may remember way back when, I posited this as a possible Gulch site. It is still there and the last offer was at US$700 per acre. The way things are going, we probably need to be far away. Far, far away.
I have a complete plan for building a Gulch, on paper. For those opining for a place, here you are.

    Hmm that is true. I guess that applies to Medicare, doe which there is no other private option if you are over 65

    ;^) Of course it would. Tikina-i-ra is about 16 square miles. Venezuela is 354,000 square miles.
    Texas secession is more likely, imo.

    Indeed. Not sure how much gumption is left there. Clearly there will be "infinite" resistance from a small group of oligarchs. After that...

    Would cost a sight more than Tikina-i-ra. Besides, if memory serves, V is a socialist dictatorship which might not take kindly to being taken over by a group of non-socialist persons.

    It would have to a part of Texas which still has a streak of cussedness to take that step, say ETx or Llano Estacado area where a predilection for independence still exists.

    But what the government gives, or has purview of, can still be taken away. POOF!!! You are now a landless serf.

    Actually retirees are routinely ignored, as they are viewed as already subservient and no longer independent. Gives you a leg up on business owners

    As retirees, we are on the radar with our S.S.and pensions, either receiving payments through the mail or direct deposit. We can still hide in plain sight, but it takes a bit of forethought if we really mean to seriously vanish while still visible. BTW, johnrobert2, Coronado is a sturdy boat. We lived aboard our 30' sloop for 12 years in the Puget Sound and I really miss those times before Seattle turned rotten.

    We could inundate Texas with Gulchers and then declare independence when things come apart. The State constitution gives it the right to secede and return to being an independent country.

    My tissue engineering work is currently on hold. I had previously solved a UV disinfection problem as part of the tissue engineering process, and several people convinced me that we could form a company around that during the COVID era. We are starting our beta testing of our UV disinfection product tomorrow at a high school cleaning an entire roomful of laptops.

    If we lose this election , the world will lose the last beacon of hope for individual liberty. There will be a revolution here though how it turns out is the Q.

    Had a great thought. I have a great nephew in SAnt who just received his MD and studying gerontology. Want to contact for consultations?

    The colony of Georgia originally included land all the way to the Pacific Ocean. It was about 150 miles N to S and 2500 miles E to W. Nice that the British claimed lands they had never seen or had even been explored. Then after the British won the French and Indian war the colony of Georgia was reduced with a western border of the Mississippi River but was extended south to the Gulf of Mexico (including the current states of AL, MS and LA but excluding FL.)

    Well, in '96 I had a 3-year-old grandson. Who now is about to become a daddy to my first great-granddaughter!
