@skinnylatte People have some wild, wild ideas about how easy it is to leave places and/or go elsewhere.

Even the "I'm gonna move to Canada!" statements made famous 20+ years ago in the US... it's so fucking hard to move to Canada. It's SO HARD TO LEAVE THE US. It's SO HARD TO ENTER THE US. None of this shit is easy. You have shockingly little agency in any of it.
