I think it’s just extremely untrue that the US is experiencing anything like the Russian brain drain (or indeed any net brain drain at all). The US does have a bunch of problems (eg the poorest people live terribly for such a rich country; political issues around polarisation, skilled immigration, etc) but I think they are basically insignificant when compared to Russia’s.

- stiltzkin 4y agoI disagree insignificant due to how the U.S. treated South American in the past, and there are more examples how extreme U.S. can be.
- dan-robertson 4y agoI don’t know what you’re saying? Are you saying that the US treated South American[s?] poorly in the past therefore they are experiencing brain drain[1] which is significant compared to the brain drain Russia is experiencing? I think that’s patently false but I can’t work out how else to parse your sentence. [1] Note that, on net, the US is experiencing ‘brain accumulation’ (especially in science/tech) not brain drain, despite the slightly broken immigration system.
