My grandmother was born in the US not quite 2 years after her parents immigrated. I think semi-often that if she had been born in Sweden I'd be eligible for a passport. I suspect that if the barrier to entry were that low I'd have made the move.

I would if my career and hobby were the same as it is here. No other place on this rock is though.

Sure, as long as it is unopposed the world and has access to every natural resources on earth.

Probably not, I am fortunate enough to live in a great place with plenty of wilderness nearby. With friends and family to boot. I'd rather fix what we already have :)

If I was going to be selfish, yes, I would move to a country that has more progressive policies and government. I refuse to be selfish though. I'm in medical school and hoping to become an ER physician in the safety net county hospitals for the express purpose of doing everything I can to help the people that have no way of escaping. I probably would have a pretty easy time taking my medical degree and moving almost anywhere because doctors are in demand pretty much everywhere, but it would be against everything I stand for and would be in complete opposition to my goals. I know that I won't be able to move the needle very much, and as an ER physician I'd be making a difference just to my patients and perhaps my community, but I still have to try. I want everyone to be able to access food, housing, education, and healthcare equally and I can't work towards that reality if I just run away from the worst of it.

No because most of those places are too cold

If I could find somewhere with good social and economic policies and good weather, I'd already be living there. But all the good places are cold.
