So the majority of them left for the EU. Thanks for your talent USA.
No one sane from the EU wants to go to the USA anymore.
And anyone sane from the other parts of the world are now choosing the EU over the USA.
Triple whammy.
And in addition to making the USA unappealing for scientists and losing all the talent. They are also getting rid of all the cheap labour.
No talent for innovation. No cheap labour for producing competitive products.
I can't wait to see what the USA will be like after Trump.

Capitalism eats itself
Imagine believing the EU is somehow better. Fash delusions.
Have you read the article? Have you seen what's happening in the USA? You must be an idiot to think otherwise. Have fun living a delusion, while the rest of the world moves on.
Hang on. The commentator could be highlighting how some Europeans are also skewing to the right.
Those PHDs were originally from EU and driving US research in STEM because no US scientists can afford the education debt to get a PhD.
So they are leaving because the visas have expired, but they are going back to barrista jobs in EU.
You clearly haven't read the linked article. Please educate yourself before you say stupid shit again.
