[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] They refuse to leave their neighborhoods or towns or cities for opportunities elsewhere. [/quote] People refuse to leave because they have a network of friends and relatives who are a more reliable safety net than anything provided by the state. People to leave a child with, people to crash with if they are evicted, etc. Compared to moving for a job that might not last. People who stay are not necessarily irrational. [/quote] They could learn a thing or two from immigrants.[/quote] Pretty much. And you have to take similar risks of crashing and burning or losing your job with no money. I did it, but you have to be willing to be lonely and not have any backup for emergencies. It worked out for me, but most people won't take the jump without a safety net. [/quote]
