Flight response is often characterized by the feelings of cynicism, desperation, and the hope that elsewhere can offer escapism—both mentally and physically. People are losing the ability to trust anyone to act in their best interest—including their governments. Those who can afford to will vote with their feet and leave places where housing isn’t affordable, infrastructure is inadequate, and state-run systems fall short. Twice as many Australians will move because of cost-of-living pressures (65%) as Covid disruptions (27%), and the financial squeeze has become so extreme in recent months that a rent increase of just AU$50 a week would prompt 40% of Australians to consider moving house. 19 The flight reaction is also a spectrum. It may be as simple as being unhappy with congestion and air quality in a city and moving to a more rural area, or as extreme as fleeing government- mandated conscription, as young men have been doing in Russia. 20 + claymation, testp, upbeta, algorithm version 4
