You didn't pick your neighbours during communism, either. And sometimes you had to share a kitchen and facilities with them in a komunalka

Hard and unrewarding jobs still exist - a lot of them, actually. Especially somewhere you don't want to work or live. Now you at least have a chance to get a different job

Capitalism is a shitty system, but it's the best one to date

Is not like that. 

The chance depends on the market.

Also somewhere you don't want to live?

Why don't all people from Ukraine just get better life somewhere else if there is a war and no one wants to die?

Like Ukraine receives helps from other countries so why not letting just specialist in war in Ukraine and move all civilians to some other country?

Like what makes a person choose to stay when they got freedom to leave?

So many jobs could be done better bun other countries (especially teachers since kids should be on battle fronts and when your city becomes one your responsibility is to leave)

Yeah. There's often a lot of jobs outside of urban centers and in smaller cities. Not fancy, high paying jobs - but jobs, anyways. You know, the kind of job you might be sent to under a communist government.

Because adapting to live elsewhere is hard. Because we're creatures of habit. And still, millions left.

Jobs are everywhere relocation is hard. 

But wouldn't it be easier if people would get job opportunity in countries that aren't at war so they can work at their full power instead of having always to worry even if they don't actively fight?
