[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get this.  I keep asking this question of everyone who raves about how the world is so much better now and how they can have a better life and how their skills are highly desirable.

If you are so smart, amazing and desirable, then USA will provide plenty of opportunity, especially if you are mobile, easy going, hard working and don't have psychological burdens or any major healthcare issues.  Even if you are older you have a chance of landing a job if you are very good, lean into the interviewing and don't despair.  It's really all about psychological profile.  If yours isn't compatible with success here, you are unlikely going to succeed there because it's a different language/culture and these challenges will be a burden for people who do not have psychological stamina and grit.

You are living under a rock. What opportunities is the US going to provide going forward when they're killing all innovation in STEM?  Their proposals to freeze and cut grant funding are absolutely disastrous. Top US universities like Stanford are slated to lose $100M per year now under Trump's plans.  It is an absolute decimation of US technology and research.  There is almost no reason for top STEM talent to stay anymore in the US.  If Europe or other countries want to snatch up top STEM talent from the US, now is the time. It's also not only the loss of funding that's the problem, it's the ideological attack on academia that is extraordinarily worrisome.  Dictators always try to control academics first.

The US will struggle to keep up with China as a huge STEM brain drain happens due to the insanity running the country now.  Hillbillies with guns aren't going to help you keep up with China. [/quote]

If you don't think living under the Chinese government feels like insanity, you're not paying attention to life on the ground there. The CCP regularly makes heavy-handed and seemingly short-sighted decisions that have little to do with STEM but are intended to appease hundreds of millions of other Chinese. Ghost cities? Xinjiang? Great Firewall? I'm sorry, but anyone leaving the U.S. for China is not thinking clearly.
