Let's see if you have a family member with stage III or IV cancer it's not that easy. They have doctors that they have built relationships with and moving with Stage IV cancer even if you have a year to live and money is very, very difficult and almost impossible given the care needs especially in the final months which last years. So tell a family how they can move someone who needs monthly or bi-weekly chemotherapy and is in pain and on the pain patches or medicine drips for pain about moving who needs a walker or can't even walk.

If you have family members with dementia or in a nursing home it is very difficult to move. Let's see you move a family member with dementia and pay the medical transport costs and the shear difficulty of doing it.

Someone may be called by the Lord to minister in this one place. When God calls you and Jesus Christ comes to you and asks you to stay and be an active member of your local church and community you follow Jesus.

My dad had cancerous tumor on his larynx and I left the university and went home to help. In order to help I took a job doing hotel maintenance. Stayed for ten years and worked all ten at varying jobs. Whatever it took to make money I did. God gives us gifts of all sorts and we should always make good use of them.

What do you think the percentage is of the long term unemployed fits your narrative? Just a completely uneducated guess would be under 10%. What do you think of the other 90% that doesn't have a terminally ill family member or is so closely tied to their church they would feel it against God's will to move?

I sure do love a post like this, as if this remotely covers anything resembling a substantial portion of those that won't move.

If these excuses were used in 1850, we'd be somewhere around St. Louis in settling the West.

It has never been easier in the history of mankind to move. People will always find an excuse to do what's comfortable/less work. It's human nature.
