None of the banks in the country where a friend of mine lives offer the services he demands: he is planning to live the country.

Many in this branch of discussion seem to be measuring their possibilities against a current situation in their area - while in some other regions the situation is worse to desperate - and they are not seeing a trend.

Definitely agree with the trend risks. The question is how to reverse it?

Normally, you would not support the trend. When a whole society but only a few support it - by buying, adopting etc. - there is probably little to be done but hanging to the escape routes you have.

You can (and in a way should) also wake up the sleepers, but it will be hard or less feasible to properly reach the masses.

Yup. This is one of the problems of this age.
