Edit: I mean this literally, sometimes it can't be done. Not every country is going to want to take you, and if you have a criminal record or something you might not find anyone willing to let you immigrate. Plus it costs money and if you haven't got money, then you're just stuck.
It turns out hard things are hard. There's no free lunch or get rich easy schemes.
I'm an immigrant (I was completely broke when I moved to the US) and my parents were immigrants and their parents were immigrants.
In the United States of 2018, that's a matter of explicit political choice, rather than harsh base reality.
> or get rich easy schemes
Gig workers aren't asking to get rich, they're asking to literally not starve to death.
Food isn't fucking scarce.

The point of the saying "there's no free lunch" is that even if it's free to you, /someone/ is paying for it - lunches do not simply materialize without effort. This principle will hold up as long as the laws of thermodynamics do - even in the United States of 2018.
Inheriting money work well for several friends of mine.
I rather enjoyed my free college experience w/ free lunch plan not to mention a healthy mind and body.
