&gt; I&#x27;m seriously considering going back to SV.<p>You do know that tech centers in the US are outliers and general policy in the US is basically the same as Canada, and other countries that have a large mass of natural resources, Australia for example.<p>Mass exploitation of every resource in reach will make us rich. Or, to put it another way &#x27;Drill baby drill.&#x27;<p>Silicon Valley and those that think it&#x27;s different live in a little bubble that doesn&#x27;t reflect the way the rest of the country thinks or acts. So moving to Silicon Valley because you don&#x27;t like the short sighted drain every resource because it&#x27;s cheap right now line of thinking won&#x27;t be an act to change any of that, it will just let you ignore that it&#x27;s happening.
