      Everything Trump does seems designed to put the USA at a disadvantage against China and Russia. He’s stupid, but at some point you have to wonder how his stupidity can be so systematic.

        Selling the country’s future out the back door because he was offered a cut and the people at the front door don’t get mad, they get jealous.

        Definitely some stupidity in the doorways, as well as greed and malice.

      A quarter of STEM workers are immigrants. With the crusade against immigrants they have a good reason to take their work somewhere else. It’s a good way to reduce the competitive edge of a country.

      Making at least $100,000 after tax a year in a country with low living costs? You can bet on it.

      As an American, good. They have their sins, but their people are educated, courteous, and prosocial. Our people are ignorant, hateful, and selfish.

      Looking at that from a standpoint of what path is best for humanity? I’m ashamed of my nation’s values and people. My people reject knowledge and wisdom, I can’t stand with that.
