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.
