@veff @samjayganges @DC5FAN they won't go home when things are worse than back home. it's more complex than that. They don't actually *like* it here except for inasmuch they can make it back like home.

When things are getting worse and seem like they could be no better than back at home, then people will leave. Because they're going to say "shit, I might not even be able to easily get home in 6 months, leave while I'm ahead"
