    So the majority of them left for the EU. Thanks for your talent USA.

    No one sane from the EU wants to go to the USA anymore.

    And anyone sane from the other parts of the world are now choosing the EU over the USA.

    Triple whammy.

    And in addition to making the USA unappealing for scientists and losing all the talent. They are also getting rid of all the cheap labour.

    No talent for innovation. No cheap labour for producing competitive products.

    I can’t wait to see what the USA will be like after Trump.

      Those PHDs were originally from EU and driving US research in STEM because no US scientists can afford the education debt to get a PhD.

      So they are leaving because the visas have expired, but they are going back to barrista jobs in EU.
