I think the OB/GYNs for one would be happy to trade a lower salary for the right to practice evidence-based medicine on a healthier maternal population without fear of being imprisoned. Plus no obscene medmal bills.
And pretty much every civilized country would be happy to have them.
I'm in a group for doctors who are working on leaving the US. The moderator mentioned today that 3000 new people have joined it since the election.
Do you think a £63k NHS doctor salary in the UK can pay off the outstanding med school loans?

Well they’re not coming for the Jews this time, not yet. Just the libs, and the federal workers, and the immigrants, and the trans kids, and the disabled. And to some extent the Muslims.
Not the same at all. This time the descendants of some survivors are helping out (Steven Miller). Actually, some of the Jews helped then, too, and not entirely under duress.
Fascism doesn’t follow the same exact pattern every time. It looked a little different in Italy. It’s very adaptable to local populations.
They weren't implying that anyone is "coming for the Jews." Are you usually this pedantic?
NP they literally said this is "insulting to victims of the Holocaust". What do you think they were talking about?

The Holocaust didn't start with gas chambers, it was decades in the making. Many, many people (who would know) are sounding the alarm and saying the parallels are unmistakable. Listen to them.

My home country does not have significant issues. No place is perfect, but it ranks ahead of United States on those lists of freedom, education, literacy, clean environment, safety etc. I live in United States because my husband is from here. Not all immigrants are escaping something.
