Peter Thiel says he is thinking about leaving the US

The US is not an airport. There is no need to announce your departure.

An easy way to determine if someone is quarterway serious about emigration is to ask: "which embassies have you spoken with?"

Thiel has NZ citizenship and land there too.

Sorry, as the article mentioned NZ pulled out of a project, I had foolishly believed the journo had provided all relevant information.

It's very clear the future of the US looks like something between Mexico and South Africa if we don't outright have a civil war.

I'd live too if I had somewhere to go.

Can you elaborate a little on this US future you believe in? I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at.
