$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('chris-h', 'A')s for USA my gut feeling is that Texas will declare independence. It will still have oil left for some rich guys. And they are going to build a huge fence to exclude all the rest.


Eh we already have canyons, rivers, and fences and it doesn't keep many people out. And now we're supposed to keep out those people who have enjoyed life 10 times more comfortable that those to our south? Not a chance. They will be piling over whatever fence is constructed to get a bit of air-conditioning or clean, crisp glass of water. Texas seceding won't do anyone any good but the fence building companies.

Texas has about a thousand miles of border with Mexico, so they would have to defend their northern and southern border.

I think that it will be a rare place that can hang on to the kind of car culture that we have now.

Car culture may be able to survive in Saudi Arabia for a few years.

The rest of the world will be using their old cars as oxcarts soon enough.

This kind of decline rate will be problematic.
