I mostly agree with you, but I think it’s, disingenuous to suggest people under financial hardship can just up and move. Moving is a huge burden in both time and money. It also doesn’t consider finding new job(s), uprooting a family, and that while moving to a cheaper area to lowers cost, it generally also lowers wages.
It’s also disingenuous to suggest everyone has $50-$100 a week they can spend on food. There are lots of people who don’t have $50-$100 a month to spend on food.
The people who are suffering most under these economic conditions are the people who have the least ability to take themselves or their money elsewhere.

“if you don’t have any money - spend the money you don’t have and move”
Might be the dumbest thing I’ve read ment as good advice.
Moving won’t help the whole country is in the same sinking boat.
Fleeing the country costs even more money and time.
I’d wager more the 70% of people are stuck where they are. Whether they own a home or are renting.
Move. To where? Cuba? Most places don’t want the average dumbed down north America.
Moving also men’s leaving all your support groups, friends and family. You have any idea how hard and expensive it is to pack up and move someplace where you don’t know anyone?
