      It’s not as simple as leaving the country. Not everyone has a passport here. And the vast majority of Americans cannot afford to spend their lives and skip town let alone move to another country entirely. Then it comes to which country to move to. Most countries have requirements for visa entry. If you intend on staying permanently, you have to meet even stricter requirements like higher education, and even then, they won’t permit your visa if you aren’t in a field that would do good for their country. Some places may have a program similar to America’s H1B visa where you can get a job and work in that job to stay in the country but then your livelihood is at the mercy of a stranger in a foreign land letting you keep your job until you can. Convince the government to give you citizenship. You don’t just move to another country. And anyone who can just move to another country is exceedingly privileged.
