    I don’t understand why foreign countries aren’t scooping up this knowledge base. The brain drain in the USA is going to be so quick under this second Trump administration.

        My friend is pretty smart and he left France to work in the US a while ago. He’s pretty pissed at the election though, and afraid especially since his wife is black. He’s seriously considering moving back to France.

        Unfortunately as long as the US remains the global financial hegemon through the dollar, it’ll continue to be the most lucrative place to obtain assets globally.

        Double Unfortunately the dollar is probably going to reach 1985 plaza accords levels of strength vs other currencies, but without the global economy working together to help the US like it did before.

        An overly strong dollar will likely destroy the US’s ability to export goods.

      They are. For example, the UK offers a High Potential Individual visa for recent graduates of prestigious universities. I’m sure they’ll get more applications this year.

      Thank you for reminding me to update my resume this afternoon… IT, but lack of a degree (and probably more important, no second language) is probably going to bite me in the ass for emigration purposes.
