Uprooting your entire life, saying goodbye to all of your friends, family, community, home, all for the pursuit of some dollars, that's insanity

Or, maybe they just hate their life/family/community and want to get out of a dead end town with no opportunities?

I moved 7 hours away for a job and I've never been happier. Met my chosen family and have made a decent life for myself.

If my grandmother had wheels she would be a bike.

Yeah, and if her wheels were like your argumentation, she wouldn't make it to the end of the block.

Just because you don't agree with people doesn't make it insanity, and saying it does shows how small minded you are.

Blah blah blah. Despite my original comment, I wasn't looking to leave and was planning on returning, but I'm glad I left and I don't want to go back after experiencing something better.

Keep looking for any excuse to not understand viewpoints you disagree with/reinforcing your existing beliefs, it really helps your (lack of) argumentation style.

But I'm done with this discussion, as it's a waste of my time and energy. Good day.
