2 min

Tim jokes about fleeing to Tuscany if the country descends into chaos, contrasting empty 'I'm leaving the country' threats with real plans like Peter Thiel's New Zealand bolt-hole.

In this bit6 moments
  • Tim says he can't live in this country anymore and is thinking about moving to Tuscany if things go bad.
  • People get upset about his comment, but he explains he's not actually fleeing—he's been casually looking at Tuscany anyway.
  • The Tuscany hills appeal to him: green, beautiful, and you can buy property for a couple million dollars.
  • Tim says it's fair to have an exit plan, though Peter Tia chose New Zealand instead—which Tim doesn't love.
  • He thinks things will probably be fine, comparing the current climate to the 1980s with money still available to people.
  • Tim frames it as a cultural pendulum: it swings one way, then swings back the other way.
