The news this week was upsetting on a personal level, and reading this by @iandunt.bsky.social was just what I needed 🇨🇦🇳🇿🇬🇧

This is one of the reasons why areas with lots of immigrants are more successful than ones without. Partly it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, of course - immigrants go where there's jobs and there are jobs in successful areas. But there is something else. There is a specific kind of energy which comes from a population which aspires, from people who want things badly enough to uproot their life and go somewhere else and damn well try to get it. People who move. People who have the gumption and the conviction and the basic inner disposition to get up and move and get what they want, knowing full well that many of their neighbours back home will resent them and many of the locals at their destination will reject them.
