It's interesting that you also get that from the 'first world' side. I'm South African, and could probably emigrate pretty easily with my qualifications, so of course, I'm constantly encouraged to do so by well-meaning people and many of my friends are trying to go to Australia/New Zealand/Canada/Europe. (Nobody I know wants to be in America, though 😝)

But dude, my whole fucking life is here, and especially because a huge chunk of my postgrad studies were state-funded, I feel strongly about contributing my skills back into this country. Like yeah, shit sucks, but it sucks everywhere right now.

I am fucking terrified of climate change, though 😔
