Forgive my naivete but yes, that's how change happens?

If we look at social movements of the past century, they weren't easy on the members but many of them were successful in bringing about change.

I don't know when it became fashionable to only do things that guarantee success within your lifetime and openly dismiss any other way of life but that's not how people who actually make a difference live.

It's a million times easier to just move away than it is to change anything about a global problem in a city with millions of people. Making a difference doesn't solve personal problems.
Right. I have to wonder where people who don't work in IT will move away to and what they're going to do there.

For IT folks, sure, pack your bags, go to a tropical community built for people with money and live in paradise. What about everyone else?
