As someone from the US, if researchers, scientists etc. want to leave, I’d much rather they go to countries who will actually value the work they do so this ain’t all bad

Anecdotally almost all the people who went to the states after graduating my compsci degree (about 40% of my cohort) have come back now. One guy in my cohort died in a firefight with ICE, it just isn't safe.

Wasn't this guy one of those "zizian" nutjobs?
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/german-math-genius-get-drawn-cult-accused-coast-coast-killings-rcna189309

Ziz believes there are two kinds of core, "good" and "nongood". "Nongood" cores are the most common (about 95% of the population). A "nongood" core is one that only grants full agency when dealing with issues of self survival or protecting offspring. This is enforced by a filter that only unlocks full agency when it detects those objects in a situation. Sometimes this filter breaks, producing a "good" core. Because people have two cores, there are three basic alignments: "nongood", "single good", and "double good". "Single good" is about 5% of the population, having one broken core which allows limited altruistic agency. Ziz seems to believe the probability of cores breaking is independent. That means the "double good" alignment only occurs in one fourth of one percent of people. This is important because double goods are the only people who can have full altruistic agency in Ziz's worldview. In this model "core" cannot be changed and you're stuck with the morality you have. This is important to consider in later sections where we talk about what Ziz tells people about their cores.

i'm not saying that there isn't, i'm saying anyone with intelligence will tell you don't fire a gun (especially at anyone claiming to work for the government) in a country you aren't a citizen of

and don't cry foul when consequences come knocking. you should 10,000% comply to ICE if you know you are in the wrong. if you aren't, then fuck with them all day long. otherwise you are asking to be deported or worse.

it's not black and white like everyone loves to claim these days. as soon as a gun was involved from the immigrant, like duh why am I even explaining this

And the rest of the world, less investment board driven research and more open results.

The transition is taking a lot longer than I predicted in 2000, but I'm still convinced the future of American workers will be hand-painting plastic happy meal toys for fast-food restaurants in China.

Hey all y'all refugee professors. Cost of living is still very good in Winnipeg, and the winters are very survivable. And if anything funky happens with the Panama Canal, Winnipeg will be booming again.

Haha, you have to manage expectations. And it's more like half the year. Winter lasts from November to April.

I won a full paid interchange scholarship to the University of Winnipeg, to start classes on the second half of 2020. It was sadly "postponed" for the pandemic, and I could choose to wait until everything came back to normal but had to pause my studies at home, or give it up and continue with my life. I have a little vacuum on my heart, for the time I couldn't live there and every time someone talks about Winnipeg I felt sad 😞

My wife met me because she went to the University of Winnipeg as an exchange student. So yeah, you never know where life will lead you, but she said it felt like home right away in Winnipeg.

And yeah, sorry that you feel sad about what could have been.

Why? Chicago is the rail hub.

Chicago first, then Winnipeg to get to Churchill for northern shipping. Winnipeg used to be quite an important city until the Panama Canal opened up.

Well they're not legally entitled to work but US residency-trained doctor have those qualifications accepted in Canada and New Zealand. At least for now.
