  • Online surveys that ask women if they want to leave the United States often produce misleading results for several reasons.

    First, these surveys capture wishful thinking rather than actual plans. When people answer an online poll, they respond based on imagination rather than commitment. Saying you want to move to another country is similar to saying you want to live on a beach or work fewer hours. It reflects a fantasy, not a genuine intention.

    Second, these surveys attract people who are already dissatisfied or curious about change. This creates a self selected group that does not represent the population as a whole. If someone is bored, stressed, or daydreaming about a different lifestyle, they are more likely to click the poll.

    Third, many respondents interpret the question emotionally rather than practically. Wanting to “leave the country” can actually mean wanting a break, wanting adventure, or wanting to travel. It rarely means navigating visas, finding new jobs, learning new languages, or building a life abroad. Travel and exploration are appealing because they offer novelty without long term consequences. True immigration requires commitment that most people never make.

    Because of these factors, online polls mainly reveal a desire for change or travel rather than a real plan to emigrate. They reflect mood and curiosity, not a solid decision to leave the country.



  • Try 95 to 99%.

    And not really, even if you have a vacant airbnb property in west virginia. That is far away from an unhoused person’s community… Where they get food, support, income and social services.

    And the idea to lock up the poor in their “own” community has been tried many times before, in very unsuccessful ways.

    I had a homeless outreach team under me in a big east coast city for the last five years. What they need is substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment, and a big social network that supports them… Or they will become unhoused as quickly as we house them.
