[QUOTE="Gxg (G²), post: 62028144, member: 238335"] Leaving from one job if one doesn't like it - even though it may hurt the owner of the company being left - opens up doors for others to come into the workforce and aid development. And for others not liking the U.S, it'd open the door up for other places to possibly become a U.S member in place of others wanting to leave...as is the case with Puerto Rico and others.
