because that 300000 people fired will allow them to have 300 high ranking CEOs
What’s the term when a country has a brain drain but caused by itself?
brain dump?
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.
i dont believe anywhere is currently safe from fascism.
As non-american I’m becoming increasingly convinced republicans are actually lead by traitors wanting to destroy the US.
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.
The times, they are a’changing
Death to IMPERIALISM
Death to CAPITALISM
Death to FASCISM
Death to MAGA
This doesn’t really save money. It does however create a burning of the books effect.
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…
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. :)
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
If you can get out, now’s the time.
If not, now’s the time to buy guns and ammo.
And share them with your friends. Learn from Lenin, learn from the Vietnamese, learn from Alpaca farms.
Unironically… Where’s the best place to go if you can get out and only speak english?
As others said, you’ll get by with just speaking English - if you’re serious think of what would matter aside from language: a life in Italy will be very different than a life in German, not only the weather but also the work culture. Also think of which countries ‘match’ your education, being somewhere with loads of jobs in your expertise will make things a lot easier. I’d advise anyone able to move from US to Europe to take a leap of faith - if it doesn’t work out and the US has by then returned to normal you can just move back and if it doesn’t work out and america didn’t return to normal you’ll likely be happy at least you got out before it got real bad.
Almost anywhere in Europe is the answer. My son did his masters in Denmark and never learned Danish. He lives in Germany now and speaks fuck all German.
Once in the Netherlands, after losing my glasses I asked an optician if he could speak English and he was thoroughly insulted.
Britain and Ireland are both native English.
How is the price of a cryptocoin even relevant to this post?
Has an empire ever been so complicit in their own demise?
Yes, many times. Historically, it seems like the very strong empires first defeated themselves and once they were sufficiently weakened for outside forces to be able to threaten them … they still kept being self sabotaged by their own elite who prioritized maneuvering against each other for temporary power/wealth grabs over working together to face the outside threats.
The late Roman empire has a bunch of good examples: blatant corruption, over taxation of the poor, many assassinations, sabotaging their peers that were trying to improve the situation, constant civil war, the battle that destroyed the military backbone of the western Roman empire was fought between romans, … And all that while the empire was being torn apart by outside invasions.
Or a more recent example: the polish Lithuanian commonwealth had a paralyzed government thanks to corrupt elites with veto powers in their parliament of nobles (sejm) and only once the nation was mostly destroyed and the nation on the cusp of final destruction, did the sejm introduce some sensible new laws, but it was too late.
With smaller regional powers you can have cases like “they were in a golden age and had never been as powerful, but then the mongols appeared”, but with hegemon empires the failure of their inner workings is always going to be instrumental in their own demise.
Speed running towards Idiocracy by 2028
Thanks to trump, we get to witness a country entering dark ages.
I enjoy that movie less and less, not because it’s a bad movie, but quite the opposite.
no need to rush it, were already here.
who am I kidding, President Camacho would be way better than Trump and most DNC candidates.
If you know exactly the level of education of your supporters and your enemies. It’s time to attack the level of your enemies.
Idiocracy with fascist characteristics.
