Canada needs to get on this as well. Let’s make America have a real national emergency with no intellect left.
I mean, they’ve already wiped out any intelligence in the White House itself. Let’s remove the real intelligence and get them out of the U.S.
Fuck Trumps Fascist America.
- For guidance see movie Idiocracy..
- Unfortunately, Canada barely pays its own scientists. Science here is not a priority and it sucks
- It would be great to grant people with educated backgrounds into Canada. That’s immigration I can get behind.
I’m something of a scientist myself…
- For 500 million I'll be whatever it takes. Almost. I can't, in good conscience, be a unicorn.
  
  If you can’t grow your own horn, store bought will do just fine.
European researchers: Am I a joke to you?
- As someone thinking of doing a PhD, I want those dirty foreigners and their ivy league diplomas out! They are stealing my jobs!
  
  Honestly this whole thing is disgusting to me in a way. As if current European researchers couldn't do just as good as the US if given the same levels of funding. This is almost certainly a case of "let's flood the job market and lower how much we have to pay researchers"
Can we pretend computer science is a real science?
- i heard just as many complaints from CS posts on different forums as bio stem people having difficulties in finding jobs.
  
  Doesn't help that modern-day CS curricula don't really teach you how to develop. They churn out developers who know what a red-black tree is, but not how to set up a .gitignore.
dont even need 500mil, trump's anti-science , anti-intellectuals gop is enough to scare them to other western countries. coupled by the fact its hard enough getting jobs with said phd.
- Today is my last day here. Another country decided they liked me enough to sponsor me.
- Hey, shhhh. Don't turn your nose up at relocation assistance.
Want to become the modern nazi party ... then suffer from brain drain exactly like the old one did.
“Trump’s America” isn’t America. Please don’t get things confused.
- sorry to say that hopes and dreams don’t make reality
  trumps america is absolutely america… it’s the america that the system and people put in place, and a huge number of americans still think he’s doing a good job
  is it all of america? na there are decent people still… but this absolutely is america
- What is, then? Trump has spent 4 months demolishing most of the systems that stop companies from abusing people, deporting random people because "he's definitely MS-13, look at those knuckle tattoos!", and crowing about his Liberation Day as it does nothing but jack up prices on most consumer goods. He still has a > 40% approval rate. What is America if not Trump's America?
