> don't care where they live and care about crap like family values and property, to leave so this place so it can become liveable again.

GP very clearly does care about where they live; it's just that that location, the result of 'crap like family values and property', is different to where you want to live.

That's OK!

It's okay for the person who has the money and privilege to do so. Not for those who can't. So your response just makes seem even more apparent that it is digital and physical imperialism

I really don't follow. It's OK for the other commenter to want to live in Washington state; it's OK for you to want to live in Silicon Valley; it's OK for me not to want to live in the USA.

We each care about where we live, and we each have different preferences: that's OK.

Legally sure. But is it right to siphon money out of a state and then take somewhere else? I know plenty of foreign families that take money out of America or back into the hands of their home country. Banks gave loans out for the great scam known as college, putting money into the hands of bank and less cycling through the economy.

Is it right to export exotic fruits to a state and siphon its money out somewhere else? It's the same thing; if the state doesn't like it, it can stop or discourage or palatabalise it.
