  well to some of us americans, who can’t leave, this is horrible… but logical….
  the last thing i want is all the reasonable people to leave, and be stuck with these fuxks….

  i kinda wonder now, how much did people fleeing nazi germany contributed to them solidifying power?

    It’s kinda funny, this is what Texas did to Oklahoma in regards to our teachers. Put up billboards saying that they paid more in Texas. It’s depressing but it worked lol.

    I mean I imagine most people leaving would still keep American citizenship and therefore still be able to vote. Unless they decide to end their citizenship which some might but I imagine most people would still want to keep that option open.

      It’s worth noting, keeping your citizenship means paying US federal income taxes, regardless of where you live and work.

        Most places have double tax agreements with the US. They’ll be reporting their income to the US, but only paying tax to the US on money earned in the US, from shares for example

  The world is looking to China too, their sciences are blossoming. Exciting times ahead while Americans decide who they are and want to be and eventually go through their own Enlightenment. Things are bad now, but tyrants always fall eventually. I think we are entering a sort of golden age for science.

  Pity they leave the nukes there, for a bunch of rabid capitalist morons

    except they need the same experts to maintain nukes, Nukes have a “expiration date”, they want it to mostly become like russia, where all the money goes to oligarches.
