Why stay in the US when it's sliding towards being an even worse fascist state than China is?
-
remember the last time this happened during the cold war, it resulted in china achieving fission-fusion hydrogen bombs faster than any other country in a short amount of time. the red scare, scared away a nuclear scientist to the ccp.

Not so much scared away but deported, right?

Huh. Who could have predicted this? If you vilify an entire ethnic group for the better part of a decade, blaming it for everything up to and including sunspots, the people of that ethnic group will start to think they're unwelcome and move away.
There was absolutely no way to have predicted this.
-
Sunspots? Really? I hadn't heard about that one. Jfc.
-
(This is a form of comedic writing called "hyperbole". They didn't actually get accused of causing sunspots. It's just an exaggeration of how they get blamed for everything, like apparently how Brazilian farmers are "coerced" by China into buying cheaper, higher-quality, not-locked-down tractors instead of American rent-seeking pieces of shit like John Deere.)

Unrelated but why is the South China Morning Post asking me for money. I'd assume an English language Chinese newspaper exists solely for propaganda purposes. Is there a market for this in the West?
EDIT: It's Hong Kong based, that's why it's so weird.
-
It is really weird, but US based newspapers ask me for money as well, even though I am in Europe. I assumed those newspapers exist solely for propagande purposes. It is weird, but maybe it is to remain inconspicuous.
-
Yeah, I get your point. But would a US-based Chinese-language newspaper ask for money?

-
Shame it's paywalled. I'd be curious to know the details.

In Canada we used to talk about brain drain. Skilled Canadians leaving to the US for cheaper goods and taxes. How times have changed.
Ontario universities and schools have had repeated funding cuts by premier Doug Ford. We are in a horrible position to be on the receiving end of any brain drain. Some universities are struggling to even stay open despite record overenrollment.
yucky, I heard that danielle smith lady isnt good either.
