The user, identified as Adam, shared a clip on Instagram featuring himself, with a text overlay that reads: "America is crumbling before our eyes. You need to diversify: - Remote income - Second residency - New passport - International banking."
Alongside the video, he shared a detailed caption that expands on his concerns. He wrote, 'The USA seems to be falling apart. You need to diversify your life instead of depending on America for everything. There are poor countries today that were great just 100 years ago. You'd be naive to think that it could never happen to the US. You need to diversify your life to protect yourself and your family. You're in the right place.'
Take a look here at the clip:
Social media reacts
The video received a range of reactions, with many users agreeing with Adam's viewpoint. One user commented, 'India gets 130 billion dollars every year from the US by Indians working.' Another joked, 'You forgot international wifey bro.'

Another user chimed in, 'Even if everything in the US somehow went 'back to normal' tomorrow, the trust has been lost.' One more said, 'I agree with each word of yours.'
While some may see the post as alarmist, others viewed it as a timely reminder to think globally and prepare personally.

'If you love your culture, why leave India': Firefighters arrive after Havan at Texas home; viral video sparks debate
An Indian woman living in Texas recently shared a video showing firefighters arriving at her residence after her family conducted a Havan during a housewarming ceremony. The video, posted on Instagram, shows a fire truck parked outside the family's garage where the Havan was taking place, as several fire officials observed the ritual. The woman named Samta Hadimba captioned the video as 'Cultural misunderstanding 101: Hindu Puja is not a fire emergency. When you're having a Hindu housewarming puja and the fire department pulls up.' The Havan took place in the family's garage in Texas. The original footage shows the family performing the ritual as the Bedford Fire Department arrives to investigate the smoke-filled garage. Officials were seen speaking with the family members. However, no official information was given about whether any action was taken or if the family violated local fire safety regulations. The video, shared by the user on Reels, quickly gained traction. There were mixed reactions to the situation as many users bashed the family for performing the puja at their home, while some also defended the family's right to practise their religious customs. One user said, 'If you love your culture this much, why leave India then?' Another user made a similar point by stating the harms of starting a fire in some countries' houses by stating, "Unnecessary trouble. Knowing that the structure is wooden' The firefighters lined up outside the family's home due to the smoke build-up. A third person also said, 'It's not cultural misunderstanding, it's nothing but forcing our culture on others and causing unnecessary attention from locals.' Some people also defended the family. In one such instance, a user said, "To all those abusing the family. You need to learn the basics. These people didn't hurt anyone or didn't do anything that harm people or property. They were having simple pooja. Now what about those people who use a grill in their garage and have smoke out of those.' A Hindu group from Canada called for sensitivity training for the local police and emergency services. 'Community needs to start engaging with local Police. Book a cultural sensitivity training of Police Services in your city,' they wrote.

Havan at Texas home draws firefighters, sparks debate: 'Cultural misunderstanding 101'
A woman living in Texas shared a video of firefighters lining up outside her home after her family conducted a havan during a housewarming ceremony. The video, posted on Instagram, shows a fire truck parked outside the garage as several fire officials observe the ritual. The footage shows the family performing the havan as the Bedford Fire Department arrives to investigate the smoke-filled garage. (Instagram) 'Cultural misunderstanding 101: Hindu Puja is not a fire emergency. When you're having a Hindu housewarming puja and the fire department pulls up,' she captioned the clip. The footage shows the family performing the havan as the Bedford Fire Department arrives to investigate the smoke-filled garage. Officials were seen speaking with the family and assessing the scene. It remains unclear whether any action was taken or if the family violated local fire safety regulations. The video, shared in a light-hearted context, quickly sparked mixed reactions. Many questioned the family for performing the puja at their home, while others defended their right to practice their religious customs. "Doing this in foreign countries, where houses are made of dry wooden walls. I condemn this behaviour and will never accept it as a cultural practice," said one user. "To all those abusing the family. You need to learn the basics. These people didn't hurt anyone or didn't do anything that harm people or property. They were having simple pooja. Now what about those people who use grill in their garage and have smoke out of those," added another. A Hindu group from Canada called for sensitivity training for the local police and emergency services. 'Community needs to start engaging with local Police. Book a cultural sensitivity training of Police Services in your city,' they wrote. An Indian-American user added, 'I'm a first-generation born and raised Indian American, and this makes me so proud to see. I have had a puja for every house I've ever lived in and for every new car I purchased. A prayer for every big exam or big job interview.'
