by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:

Vast throngs of people have been relocating from California and other coastal states to the region of the country known as “the Interior West”.  The states of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and Arizona have all seen a tremendous influx of new residents in recent years, and this has especially been true since the start of the pandemic.  So what is causing this mass exodus?  Without a doubt, there are multiple factors at work, but one of the most important is a growing consensus that our society is headed for big trouble.  Millions of Americans can see that events are starting to spiral out of control all around us, and they don’t want to be stuck in a highly populated area when the big meltdown inevitably happens.
