I’ve figured this out. If MAGA gets rid of all the smart people, they won’t seem as dumb anymore!
Europe is infinitely welcoming of these people, they’ll always have a place here.
We need to up our game on many many fronts. We need more investment and harder turn toward deomcratic socialism to fully reap what is being sown.
Keep on winning, America!
Well, that happened to Germany back in the 1930s/40s. Before that, about 1/3 of Nobel Prizes went to German scientists.
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.
Europe will welcome them with open arms.
The next step in the authoritarian playbook will be to limit the movement of educated people. Soon enough, those people won’t be able to leave even if they wanted to.
Quality has nothing to do with the money they gain, but whith what they can buy for it, apart of the quality of the public services. Higher wages in the US mean nothing, when even this isn’t enough for education and health, which in the EU isn’t a problem. There the people don’t lose their existence base because of hospital bills or to pay the studies of their children.
i dont believe anywhere is currently safe from fascism.
In the “first world” sphere that regularly ignores and denigrate any country that could be perceived as inferior even if it’s not necessarily, then yes, maybe. We’re doing great over here in some places that are often overlooked.
As non-american I’m becoming increasingly convinced republicans are actually lead by traitors wanting to destroy the US.
Wanting? No. But they see the impending collapse and rip the copper out of the walls.
So do the Democrats…
I hope they fix their system, but I have no idea how they could.
They need more parties. The two party system is forever broken
Stupid people are easier to rule and fool.
because that 300000 people fired will allow them to have 300 high ranking CEOs
The times, they are a’changing
Death to IMPERIALISM
Death to CAPITALISM
Death to FASCISM
Death to MAGA
What’s the term when a country has a brain drain but caused by itself?
brain dump?
Good one
Making everywhere else, great again.
Critical support for Trump’s struggle against US cultural and scientific imperialism.
You jest, but even though I hate a lot about the Trump regime, I’m glad that it is eating out its own military capacity like this. It’s like when you’re incredibly sick in bed, and then it gets a little better for a while.
Welcome to Europe, researchers!
Lots of great choices and don’t worry, you can move to France without knowing French or Denmark without knowing Danish!
wait you dont actually need to know French or Danish? How’s the local perception of English speaking foreigners, i.e. is it offensive to respond in English if the waiters/locals ask in French?
Tbh the language barrier is 1 of the reasons holding me back. Havent tried for positions in France and Denmark yet, but for the ones I looked in Germany and Spain, you need to know German or Spanish. Even the job ads are in German/Spanish…
Spain is a better choice, but in Germany are more people speaking English, on the other hand pretty right wing. But in academic circles it becomes irrelevant.
Yeah he knew about ten words of Danish after over three years there before he moved to Germany. Even his lectures were in English which I was surprised at.
He has had to learn a little German but not that much and he’s there about 18 months now. The office he works in has folks from all over so they just use English.
Netherlands also in my experience basically everyone can speak perfect English.
I prefer to try to use a bit of the local language when I’m travelling myself as I find folks react well to the effort.
I’m terms of offence, it’s unlikely. I’d imagine tourists are common enough everywhere. I have reasonable French myself so I do try to use it when there so I can’t say for France specifically.
If you’ve any other questions I can pass them on to the young lad.
If you’re in Denmark and speak English to anyone, nobody bats an eye. You’re welcome.
Denmark is home away from home. Love it there. It is my most stamped country. :)
This doesn’t really save money. It does however create a burning of the books effect.
Or another way to look at it- cutting nearly 75% of scientists. Can’t have climate change if there’s no one working! Watch them find some money to give to ExxonMobile to ‘study’ the impacts of fossil fuels. Wonder what that report will say! /s
No need for the /s I fully expect that is what will happen. Also a great firewall, so yanks can’t access unapproved information from over seas
