It makes me rage that even though I’m in a country thousands of miles away, its economy would be dragged down should economic collapse ever happens again in the US given heavy reliance on remittances from workers who are paid mostly in greenbacks.

The only glimmers of a chance of surviving such a catastrophe would be not only investment in tangible goods and technical skills/trades – short of becoming a prepper – but also counting on policymakers’ pragmatism to make my country more cooperative with its neighbors to cushion and weather the shock.
