My siblings feel the same way. Three of us and zero grandkids. Trying to live lightly upon this earth and not commit the same sins as the ones before us.
Hey man you’ve got nothing but agreeance from me. You’re 100 percent right. I moved from the Deep South to the pacific north west because I was horrified by my roots and by what my family contributed to. But I have zero excuses for not having a better attitude, more resilience and at least attempting to better the world. You’re not wrong, but none of your feelings change the fact that the world does, in fact, need your brain power- especially if you’re capable of such deep introspection. I value you. I hope you can start to value yourself.
Hello, oil baby here. My dad was a physicist for big oil and my mom was a geologist. Your whole life isn’t a lie. We went through this so we can help the world change. No one said this would be easy. Of course you still believe in science and you better never say that again. Make big choices, get somewhere new where you can find hope and pull yourself out of this. We need you
My however many greats grandfather came over on the Mayflower in 1620. He too had to leave England and then the Netherlands even when it was hard, looking for a place for his family to have a future he believed in. I feel sad but I also think all things change and he would understand why I’m leaving.
I hope your country takes the threat more seriously than we did. There are a lot of broken hearts in America right now.
I’m an American leaving for Canada and I am very proud to be taking my hard work, tax paying, and consumption somewhere else. I work on the PM side of cell tower projects, and I look forward to expanding BC’s services.
America is going to lose all its best workers. And they deserve it
No good woman would expect you to give up anything for her. I think we need to zoom out on this problem and recognize the issue is really just quality vs. non quality humans. Quality people are in rare supply. That’s why you have to hold on when you find one.
