    Australia's alright at the moment.

    10/20/30 years? Probably impossible to go outside during Summer.

      Yeah, I wouldn't move here permanently. Both ruling parties will 100% have a policy of austerity and privatisation in the future, (as they have done for decades, but this time it's to tackle "the deficit") and like you said we'll be dealing with 50° summers peppered with choking on bushfire smoke.

      Add to that the blatant racism baked into Australian society which will only get worse in the next few decades and the growing police and surveillance state, you'll have a perfect recipe for USA II.

          Yeah true but we haven't reached the imminent collapse part yet.

        Exactly, we're already picking fights with China because daddy USA told us too. We're a shithole country and should never have stolen this land.

      How could anyone say Australia? It seems like the last wild fire season got erased from the internet by COVID.

      That island is one climate change disaster away from total chaos. I'd stay away.

        I'm ok telling you guys, but I ain't telling regular lib voters here- I'm pretty sure myself and the people I love will move to Tazzie or NZ before we're caving each others heads in
