A question that popped up on my social media. Some people answered that they can’t even afford to move across town, let alone move countries.
Some people said they have a sense of caring and responsibility and not wanting to abandon their communities.
I said:
1) Plus, I’m sorry, if too many of us (esp us Boomers) move to any other country, we’re going to wreck that country’s culture and ecosystems in short order. We actually already have, a bunch of countries.
2) And yeah, how about that sense of caring and responsibility and not wanting to abandon! Let’s have some more of that. Especially us boomers and older.
3) And, if anyone moving overseas is just thinking they’re going to casually jetset back-and-forth (as opposed to probably never seeing your family again, like so many refugees), then hey, guess what, you’re obviously not actually in danger! Plus you’re obviously wealthy. So stay put and help the people who need help.
