      Ehhh not as true as one may think. Maybe you can’t get some corporate job that “wants you” but if individuals want to leave bad enough they can find a way and survive in a bunch of places around the world. But there will not be a mass exodus. And if you do leave all your family and friends probably aren’t coming along for the ride so you’ll be doing it solo or maybe one other person joins you.

      I admit I'm ignorant about this stuff in general, I didn't even know what a visa was until college, I thought you just showed up and said hey.

        Surely you knew that some rando from Afghanistan can't just buy a plane ticket to the US and enter? Why would that be different for other countries?

          Nah, didn't know that, figured if it weren't for the war then then they could.

      You can easily get into to most of those countries with just a passport and overstay your visa.

        Covid complicates this though. Normally you can get a tourist visa just by filling out a form on the plane and turning it in at customs, but right now nobody wants a pipeline of blood coughing yankees entering their country.
