      US Brain drain started circa 2006 or 2007, when smart people who had well paying jobs watched their country sell them down the river, to bail out banks.

      They saw countries where they could raise their kids, without worrying about becoming a pauper with a single medical incident, or not worry about their kids dying in yet another school schooling. They saw a place they could call home, that didn’t have them on the edge of survival every, single, day.

      The racist roots of our country, which were well hidden for a good 30 years was ripped wide open for all to see, and they wanted none of that for themselves, or their (future) families.

      They left.

      Slow down? Shit is going to start flowing the opposite way. The brain drain from the US has begun.

      They want a stupid populace, they’re going to get one. And it will probably end up killing us all.

        The people who are smart enough to be able to get jobs else where are also smart enough to see the writing on the wall of an anti-intellectual admin. The us is only going to get dumber, which is the goal for the gop.
