\"Ya

\u201cLay down with Grasshoppers and you\u2019ll wake up\u00a0fleeced.\u201d<\/p><\/div>I hesitate to speculate on the long-run future of the Republic, but the future of America’s big cities seems clear:<\/p>\n

As the Ant exodus continues, riot-friendly cities will become Grasshopper reservations: Except for tragically brick-\u2019n\u2019-mortar-bound Ants, only the Grasshoppers will remain.<\/p>\n

At that point, we become two countries, so it makes sense for Ant counties to separate themselves from Grasshopper counties, as is now being proposed in Idaho and Oregon.<\/a><\/p>\n

What will happen to the Grasshoppers, once the Ants escape their inept attempts to enslave them? Odysseus told you:<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cTo be owned as a pet is to be loved. To be owned as an investment is to be prized. But to be owned as a nuisance is to be abandoned in due course \u2013 or simply slaughtered.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cultivate your new neighbors. Make sure they know what they’re running from. Lean hard on your Grasshopper enclaves, like Tucson or Austin. Trim every government budget of Grasshopper-attractants like subsidized housing.<\/p>\n

Living the Grasshopper lifestyle is a lifelong mistake, but for Ants to indulge that lifestyle is catastrophic \u2013 for the Ants<\/em> \u2013 as we are seeing in the self-destroyed Grasshopper cities.<\/p>\n
