First, I want to build on all the positivity. Locally, I'm pleased to report that we're almost done counting votes in Los Angeles (traffic is bad and math ain't our thing), but it's safe to say that Karen Bass got way more votes than Mall King Rick Caruso. There's still a runoff in November, but the Mall King is on the ropes.
Second, I got your book! I would've gotten it the day it came out, but I opted for the audio version, which was delayed by a few weeks. Anyway, I'm looking forward to listening and giggling in public.
OK, your question is where things turn negative because the idea of leaving the U.S. makes me think that my worst nightmares have come true and that I need to flee a fascist state with nukes. I used to say Canada, but then I listened to the Robert Evans podcast, It Could Happen Here, and I realized that whatever hell America belches out will land pretty heavy on our neighbors to the north. Best case scenario, we're a failed state and the Canadians are like, "Get all these damn Americans out of here." Worst case scenario, we go full fascist and invade Canada. I don't want to be around for either scenario. Plus, most people say Canada, which is why it won't work. My escape plan is Uruguay. Few people outside of Uruguay know that Uruguay exists, and those who do know Uruguay exists often have trouble spelling it. Uruguay is a democracy (unusual in both North and South America!) that's legalized weed, same-sex marriage, and abortion. I only plan to avail myself of the weed, but I like to know that I'm getting high around people who have rights, otherwise I get paranoid. So yeah, Uruguay. Pass it on. But don't spread the word too wide.

Sure it wasn't Col. Mustard in the kitchen with butter knife? Nice round up. ;)
