move to another location, which is very difficult
In the county where I live, there are Help Wanted signs almost everywhere. Employers CAN'T FIND people with half a brain.
I lived in Texas during the S&L crisis... Lost my job. NO ONE was hiring. Couldn't sell my house for HALF of what I paid for it. I MOVED. All the way to Georgia, where the JOBS were. Two years later? I moved back home, cause thing's had gotten better.
It is EASY to say, "can't be done".
Reality is: It CAN be done. But, it isn't always EASY.
But, it requires desire, imagination, and a willingness to do 'whatever' you have to do.
You're correct that, liberal governments can practically drive out opportunity. But, they haven't taken over EVERYWHERE just yet.
Of course some people can move.
But we are in a much worse situation than in the G.D.
