the flight of the wealthy

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2017.02.08

It looks like the wealthy are planning on pulling the plug on the US. It seems that some of them, anyway, are not happy with the results of the decades-long drive towards imbalance and anti-intellectualism. Or so says The New Yorker, anyway.

As a response to risk, I see capitulation on the fate of your country as a mystifying response. What then, of your decade spent in a bunker or your declining years spent in someone else's country? Too late, I think, to have taken an active hand in your outcomes.
