It is just horrific to watch the unfolding of everything that gives us a competitive edge and makes this country stand out. At the same time watching people cheer it.
We are sending our best and brightest into the welcoming arms of the competition. And I don’t mean this in a good guy bad guy way, more in the sense of healthy competition between sports teams.
We already know about the countless contributions of
Immigrants, even when it comes to job creation from immigrant founded companies. As we turn them away, we continue to dissolve into unprecedented dysfunction, at a time that we most need to attract that energy to get us out of this nasty rut.
As an immigrant who came here from India at age 12, this is home. And it’s sad to see your home being eaten into by politically motivated termites and rotting at every level at the core, while many of my fellow Americans cheer it on our self-destruction.

- EduardoBautista 6y agoCanada also has low salaries.
- atonse 6y agoBut better social services. Salaries will go up with more competition.
- mritun 6y agoHigher wages in US is just cost of doing business - most top tier people won’t work in US at lower salaries because of extreme uncertainty and zero safety net. Salaries in Canada are lower but the safety net makes up for it.
- dungdang 6y agothis has to be a joke post. the safety net is provided to poor people, by the taxed salary of the high paid people. you are saying the high paid people want to work in canada, so they can pay for poor people? my job pays 250k standard in the states. literally the same job, at the same company, is 160k canadian. it's even less in france. yes, yes, you get insurance. so do i -about 8k/year taken out of my paycheck.
- llcoolv 6y agoIn the US you can also throw away half your income to a work incapability insurance, etc. Never got the idea why everyone should be gang raped into participating in the holy 'safety net'. Besides, of all the people I know who moved to Canada not a single one was doing high-demand work.
- mratsim 6y agoSwitzerland is very welcoming
- jeegsy 6y ago> We are sending our best and brightest into the welcoming arms of the competition. Seems like an excellent opportunity to test this assertion.
