For me as a European this is really simple: foreigners are not welcome in the US so I won't bother the US with my presence.
If I'm going to be selfish: the US establishing itself as a politically unstable and inconsistent country means more opportunities closer to where I live. More talent staying in Europe, more talent attracted to Europe.
If I were American I would worry about important talent pools now finding more opportunities in Asia.
- tehlike 9y agoDefinitely, but there is something about western life that attracts people, too.
- NTDF9 9y agoI assure you that Europe and Australia are quite western.
- akhatri_aus 9y agoEven these are tightening down on immigration.
- tehlike 9y agoSure, but let me change it a bit: american way of life has its appeals.
- bborud 9y agoIt has its appeals for people from some parts of the world. I'm from Scandinavia. The US isn't terribly appealing when you live in a part of the world where stuff works and people tend to be rational.
