Great selection here of actionable tips and advice that will immediately make your life better and more enjoyable. This is especially true of the "Health" portion that discusses avoidance of seed oils and ultra-processed foods - two simple but hugely impactful changes people can make right away.
If thing get worse in the good ol' USA, I would even add one suggestion. Namely, evaluate and identify other places to live, raise your family, etc.
Yes, thank you for adding that suggestion. That is important in so many ways, including being able to accumulate greater savings as TC noted below and being able to avoid some of the more draconian policies in other areas.
Yes, the "Health" portion jumped out at me more than any other. I've recently become very, very strict with what I'm consuming these days, even if I've been strict for going on a decade-and-a-half. But anything with artificial flavoring and more than so many ingredients, I've recently gotten rid of. I'll be 34 next year, so making permanent changes at this point should pay dividends in the future.
I also like what you said about finding places to live and raise a family. I'm very lucky in this avenue, as the area I currently live in is among the cheapest in the United States (Upper Ohio River Valley), and it's helped me not only save a significant portion of my own money, but also finally start investing in my side hustle, or as Karl was talking about, other income streams.
TC, you are far stricter than I in terms of diet, then, so I applaud you. I think any movement we can make towards more natural foods and a greater awareness of what is in them is movement in a positive direction that will yield better long-term health, as you suggest.
Great anecdote about your area and its low cost of living. That is an important factor that many people overlook but one that can truly offer some of the greatest freedom in all senses of the word. Best of luck with your side hustle.
Thanks! And I agree 100 percent. I'm glad we're seeing more awareness spread nutrition-wise, and I can see it spreading rapidly if we have those willing to keep speaking up.
Have you seen the Casey Means interview with Tucker Carlson? She and her brother Calley present a thorough and compelling case for avoiding some of the worst health offenders, especially seed oils and highly processed foods. There are many more like her speaking up now, which is great to see.
My parents immigrated here in the 70s. I'm sure they never thought their kids would be looking for a back-up country to move to, but here we are.

I second that recommendation. A great discussion overall.
Regarding moving, every time I hear a Tom Woods episode about other citizenships and creative cities such as Prospera (https://tomwoods.com/ep-2545-capitalists-build-free-city-nyt-has-panic-attack/), I get more intrigued about such a backup.
That's great! Yeah, I've heard of Prospera in passing.
I haven't, but I'll be watching it now. I'm looking forward to checking it out.
