Earlier quoted context omitted.
You are making wild general assumptions about this person's life. Most people in the USA can't really choose where to live, they are forced into a particular zone based on income or some other factor. You are also suggesting that they move from the place that gets snow. This is a ludicrous suggestion and very rude. We can't all live on the beach front property.

Goodness gracious. You seem to be completely unaware of the lengths average people go to in order to survive.
Here's a thought.
Educated people can simultaneously be impoverished and current on world affairs.
