Just give a year or two and brains will be fleeing EU also
Where, though? Moon?
They are smart aren't they
Why would they?
Here in Germany, we will have a conservative government at best and a fascist one at worst. AFD is at 20% at national levels, and locally they are winning in the East, which I, naive and wrongly motivated as I was, moved to from merry Bavaria.
I'm German too. We should built a wall and make the Ossis pay for it... Wait a second 🤔.

Well that's a low bar
I’d say we are in an odd position. I don’t know when you last attended a PhD ceremony, but in engineering, over half were foreigners. The US already had a brain drain, by not producing top notch scientists and engineers. This is only exacerbating the issue.
Where are these PhD ceremonies you are attending? If they are in the US, wouldn't that mean that the US is producing these scientist? Also, engineering isn't exactly the kind of field where people stick around in academia getting doctorate degrees.
