>>20179146I'm sorry to tell you this, but 90%+ of the people who know will abandon your hometown in a hearbeat if Shekelstein lures them in with a 25% salary increase. Of those who still would stay, a good proportion will just stop hanging out if you don't have the right views as per TalmudVision, People Magazine, etc. But there are decent people out there, so focus on quality over quantity. If people move away, that is on them and in my view you have absolutely no obligation to checkin with them.
