Agree. With the extent of polarization we have there is very little that isn’t political and it’s depressing.

There are folks who are caring for elderly parents who themselves can’t or won’t move. Similarly there are folks caring for sick friends and relatives. There are folks who don’t have the resources to get out of the state while at the same time supporting their minor children. There’s no need to place blame. Better to look for solutions.

This is a good take. There is also a fair bit of luck in physical and mental health, and having a good environment growing up where you can learn all of the skills that aren’t taught in school. When I went through school the emphasis was on learning the facts and working hard… Neither of which are the top skills needed to make money.
