This timeline is a bad one. We need father time to make the old in power fade away so we can attempt to fix what the worst generation has broken.

I sometimes think of visiting USA as tourist, but get reminded by these weekly news flashes that I might never return home if I did. Probably not a good idea to visit this third world shithole with a Gucci belt.

It was in the news in the UK a few years ago that a doctor visited the US to see some of his family that lived there, and while he was asleep in bed a stray bullet hit him and he died. Obviously I'm sure these things are unlikely but it's still kind of scary. That and I find the idea of walking around and having deranged psychos all around me potentially having a gun and them being able to pull it out and end my life at any moment kind of... unpleasant.

I think that depends where you go. I live in BC but go to Washington all the time and it feels pretty much just as safe.

Eh, it's safer now than it was 30 years ago, your odds of actually running into anyone with a gun are extremely low.
