It takes time to plan leaving the country. A lot of people like me are leaving we just haven't gotten there yet because of how long it takes getting everything lined up

Of my entire friend and family group I'm the only one who can afford to leave. Moving is not cheap and I think it's like 1/3 of Americans are paycheck to paycheck

It's also more than just financially difficult to move countries. Most places require you to have a valued skill set. Many places deny neurodivergent people. This means a lot of the people who need to leave the most can't land somewhere even if they could afford to flip their life upside down
