I call bullshit obviously but funny to read

    Aren't there quite a lot of rich expats on New Zealand? I know there was talk of lots of apocalypse bunkers there, but yeah overall it feels like the rats are trying to leave a sinking ship but all the lifeboats themselves are pretty compromised or tied to America if it goes down.

      For the 0.1% sure, but if we're talking families with a household income of 300k then no.

      Some millionaires and all billionaires will be safe, anyone not making that much money is low on options.

        True but it seems this article is specifically about capital flight of millionaires and above, people that can easily relocate. For those around 300k the only option that might be even remotely feasible is fleeing to Mexico or Vietnam where a lot of the upper middle class expats all go.
