Running away puts infrastructure in the hands of the enemy. Like all the nuclear weapons or even Power Plants.

South Africa is proof of why that would end horribly.

They'd be begging for help after 12-18 months maybe even sooner. Leaving the cities to rot isn't a bad idea. All your tax dollars do is pay for gibs and corporate handouts. Why stay and contribute to that mess? You probably don't want to stay in a large city at this point anyway. Anyone with a functioning brain can see that the meltdown is coming. The cities are going to be like warzones. If you're in a city its time to leave for your own sake and for the sake of your family.

It's just puts the burden on all the suburb folk. Again, you can look at South Africa as the perfect example of this. Non-stop power outages and people being forced to ration water because they can't plan for droughts. Despite all this, the country hasn't collapsed, but life is miserable.

And if they blow up a Nuclear Power Plant, you can bet that sweet radiation will find its way to your home.

Who is "they", exactly, and why can't they plan for droughts?
