My feed is filled with “moving to x country”. Same stuff from a few weeks ago about CA and wildfires. Your state and country is not a freakin AirBnB to leave a one star review and move on. Toughen up, help fix this shit!

I also feel like this happens more in cities where people come to "consume" the city (LA, NY, SF) versus being a real part of building in the community (DET, DEN, OKC, HOU, etc).

Not everyone views their country or neighborhood as their community---many have other communities they are a part of and feel bound to. There have been mobile communities willing to flee for thousands of years, for example the Jewish diaspora

I was taught growing up to get a highly mobile, irreplaceable job so that if I needed to leave the country like most of my ancestors, I could safely do so
