Many of our immigrant families crossed the Darien Gap by foot for new opportunities. Fortunately there are roads to flyover country. If you have a thumb, escape is possible. Much of my family did it with far less resources and as many familial responsibilities as you probably have
I live on an overloaded island thousands of miles from anywhere else metropolitan, so no I cannot just hook my thumb and hitch a ride with a trucker across the vastness of some flyover states to get to new opportunities.
