    That would require to create a lot of new jobs for scientists coming from there. Otherwise it would just increase competition for unattractive jobs and lead more people to quit science (which I did).

    And speaking of MINT professionals, we have a lot of stupid processes and bad working conditions here. Yes, for example in German industrial engineering, a lot of experienced software developers are sought for - but honestly, most managers do not have an idea what a requirement specification or an API really is. If you don’t believe me, ask for the API docs of the thing you should work on in their interview.

      A lot of these jobless scientists used to do work that benefited the rest of the world. Maybe we can give them a job continuing the work they did in the states.

        It’s hard enough to get a permanent job in the states for some scientist, the anti-sciene and anti intellectualism is making things worse. Many phds believe a faculty is their only secure job, but it’s extremely competitive and pretty hard to get one, if at all. Tenures aren’t going to leave and unis take advantage of temporary instructors anyways
