Where not to be with the Avalanche of Trouble Ahead

 Something I've always advocated for since reading the story of his life is John Boyd's OODA loop. Observe, Orient, Decide and Act is what OODA stands for. With the coming designed economic implosion of the "Great Reset" one has to be keen to be very observant of the risks being presented. Prepared to reorient, make decisions and act quickly.

The following video is from Lake Mead which is South of Las Vegas. It's not only the primary source of drinking water to that population but it's also one of the primary power sources for the entire Southwest. As the water level continues to drop, the amount of power that can be generated also drops. 

Las Vegas may be in my top five places to not be in the coming plethora of crisis. But let's talk about the other potential danger zones to keep yourself out of.

Los Angeles. California is a state that has mismanaged it's investments into infrastructure for decades. The entire state has a number of hazards to take seriously. Power and Water are unusually high risks and even with one of the world's largest ports right there, the potential for hyper-inflation for things that really matter is significant. The risk of shortages blowing up into civil unrest is also very high. If you are in Southern California today, your clock is ticking!

Phoenix. Reliance on the hydro-power of the waning Colorado river is significant and with an ongoing water shortage already... in a desert environment. A city in the middle of a desert with the potential for supply chain breakdowns, shortages, and high-inflation on necessities isn't a good combination. The sprawl of Phoenix is an amazing story of the past last 50 years... but that development, aided by easy credit has created a huge trap for a large group of people. When people can't afford gas and transportation becomes a necessity to live... be aware!

El Paso. We saw the problems Texans have already had with a decaying power grid infrastructure and the mal-investment into things like wind and solar. El Paso is another city that already has a water shortage issue, it's hundreds of miles from anywhere else. I was stationed there when I served in the US Army at Fort Bliss. It's an isolated city in the middle of nowhere. The fact that it is on the border with Mexico may be one of it's few saving graces. The chances for trouble and hopelessness is high.

Atlanta. Like many US cities, Atlanta's economy has benefited from easy credit from the Central Banks for things like real estate. Unfortunately, that growth in a place that has not developed the necessary infrastructure similarly means it has a serious potential for big failures. It's water shortage problems have been known for years. Atlanta is somewhat centrally located, so it may not be as risky as the others and the potential for civil unrest to occur in this particular city is higher than most. Plus, it's the headquarters for the CDC.

Las Vegas. Face it, a city in the desert with a significant water shortage problems as well as a related power shortage issue... Plus being a city built by gangsters, is probably not going to be a place to be when significant numbers of people find themselves in a desperate situations. There's already a troubling homeless problem and with a nationwide economic downturn on the horizon... tourism dollars will be the first place people will have to pinch. Being in a city based on those dollars flowing, with all the other issues, seems very risky in my book.

This would be my top five, but there's plenty of other cities that have long lists of problems to add up along with the standard government mismanagement of funding and investment into decaying roads, rail, power and water, supply chain problems, transportation issues, inflation, etc... which suggest it's highly risky headed into more years of turmoil ahead. Simply put, being in the any of the cities in the USSA, or the "developed" Western economies is going to be risky. This is where crime rates will jump the quickest. The governments are the most corrupted and unresponsive already. Services can also be disrupted the easiest when the smart people who maintain things flee first.

When one looks into all these risks, it is another reason to consider why Acapulco shines brighter than most. It has already weathered decades of immense economic and political difficulties. It's people have witnessed many years of harmful propaganda. It has a culture of collaboration and kindness, and a healthy mistrust of government officials and their empty promises. It has an abundance of resources that most have little clue of. It retains a small town feel even though it's considered a city. Acapulco is far from perfect. Many won't be willing to take on the responsibilities that Acapulco demands, but for those who do, it represents a great deal of opportunity far exceeding the risks.

Do yourself a favor. Make some time to Observe, Orient, Decide and Act upon the information and knowledge available to you. There isn't a problem or challenge that can't be properly dealt with and overcome if thoughtfully approached and acted upon.
