Not trolling. I'm making a rather serious point.
The article is about money. The OP made a comment about giving up luxury for health security in a heartbeat. Both countries have a strong safety nets and multinationals have branch offices there. For many people it's as simple as asking for a transfer. For others making high tech salaries, it's just a matter of buying a citizenship. They are for sale and relative to high tech pay, don't cost that much. Less than $1M USD to buy a Canadian citizenship.
But they won't. Why? Because the pay is less. And that's the harsh truth. Migration patterns are driven by economics. It really is about money most of the time.
- _DeadFred_ 2y agoSo there are zero people living in the bay area who work normal jobs and don't make tech salaries? Because the only reason people live somewhere is the money, so all those people must have moved away since their money would be worth more in a lower cost of living area? Never thought 'love it or leave it' would be presented as a valid argument on HN.
- glitchc 2y agoYou didn't address any of points, nor those of the OP's. I suggest you read both carefully and frame your response accordingly.
