    Good!

    America has brain drained the rest of the world for far too long.

    The rest of the world has socialist systems that actually give people relatively equal opportunities, and America instead builds massive amount of concentrated wealth on the backs of poor people that it uses to lure the brains away from those countries with massive pay checks.

    Any brain drain away from the US is a good thing for humanity and the world at large.

      WTF are you talking about? You think scientists move for salary? Scientific research requires funding. She may have landed in the Netherlands but she will never see the funding to do her work she had in the USA.

      Honestly, if you don’t know how things work, don’t make comments.

        This and any increases in salary in the US is immediately offset by healthcare and retirement costs. We make at best the same overall as in the euro.
