Sometimes it is enough to move to another city. But yeah bottom line is do the math, then do what it takes to have prospects and progress... or agree to be a fiat slave. Yes it is harder for the current generation. It is many times harder if you were not born in the US.

This country is my birthright. Under no circumstance is moving to another country a solution to the problems previous generations allowed to manifest. You should move into a hole in the ground.
