    Historically, many rich countries have acted this way. It’s how my dirt poor British ancestors ended up in rural Newfoundland. You don’t decide to board a rickety boat to a place you’ve only seen in pictures if your life is going well.

      Right, and I really doubt there will be any new 1920’s Americas to emigrate too any time soon. I really hope the US can elect someone new. Some of these new candidates gaining traction aren’t corporate sponsored, which really gives me hope personally.
