“Lay down with Grasshoppers and you’ll wake up fleeced.”
As the Ant exodus continues, riot-friendly cities will become Grasshopper reservations: Except for tragically brick-’n’-mortar-bound Ants, only the Grasshoppers will remain.
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.
What will happen to the Grasshoppers, once the Ants escape their inept attempts to enslave them? Odysseus told you:
“To 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 – or simply slaughtered.”
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.
Living the Grasshopper lifestyle is a lifelong mistake, but for Ants to indulge that lifestyle is catastrophic – for the Ants – as we are seeing in the self-destroyed Grasshopper cities.
