per my understanding if the USecon/$ is destroyed and/or US defaults, nowhere u could put it is gonna be safe. especially w/agencies captured (also you've got bigger problems at that point +devauled cash won't help)

however if it 'crashes' as historically, it will come back up eventually.

Post 4/8: 🌽 Corn & soybean farmers in the US are especially worried.

They're the biggest US farm exports & were hit hard by tariffs during Trump's first term. Déjà vu anyone?

We need to fix this. The avg rent for approx. 690 sqft is ~$1375 after removing the below states:

NY: $2927
MA: $2515
DC: $2305
CA: $2182
NJ: $2050

$100 has a different value depending on your state.

No wonder emigration is growing.
