Europe will welcome them with open arms.

People starts to realize that having a higher wage in the US doesn't translate into a better quality of life.

only the PI/PHDs, and postodcs, the ones that do "majority of the work" in a research lab, undergrads, and grads wont have the same opportunities in europe.

i dont believe anywhere is currently safe from fascism.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

no, but it safer than if a authoritarian is control, like trump, Russia, and china. until those other countries in europe starts attacking science(defunding, jailing them, or alternative "science") its better than the US.

Stupid people are easier to rule and fool.

This doesn't really save money. It does however create a burning of the books effect.

A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, are incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

Turning the US into Russia 2.0

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

America is still slightly ahead of Russia there, due to the legacy of the USSR. Not that Russia's billionaires aren't doing their best to privatize education and keep it out of reach of the peasantry since the fall of communism.

the oligarchs of russia sends thier children to elite or standard western colleges, russian is a shithole even for them for education.

As an outsider, I honestly and sincerely invite anyone to explain how any of what’s going on in the US today isn’t as American as apple pie and school shootings?

As non-american I'm becoming increasingly convinced republicans are actually lead by traitors wanting to destroy the US.

Since Trump is Putin's puppet, that makes sense.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah pretty much, Trump had ties to the Russian mob. Beyond that, they probably poured money into the MAGA movement for God knows how many senators. Putin won. Well played really.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

putin have pouring into the gop for a long time, and almost all the right wing governments elsewhere, why do you think the sudden rise of right wing govt all at once, plus they also fund alt-right groups like racial supremcy groups. isreal is similar, just by the USA (which is the most right wing western country even before trump)

The country built on brain drain, assumes it is great without the brain.

I hope the scientist find favorable places that value science.

Making everywhere else, great again.

Brain drain is a difficult downward spiral to break out of once it starts.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago

This is something I think a lot of people don’t realize; It’s a cascading failure. It’s not just that some competent people will leave the country. The rest of their teams will have to bear the extra burden and be demoralized. They will then feel compelled to leave as well.

It’s happened numerous times in both the public and private sectors. Now they’re deliberately trying to do this shit on a national scale. If we ever recover from this, it’s going to take decades…
