I stuck my own narrative in here, perhaps I should have been clearer. One thing I see over and over again are people saying that there aren't enough highly educated Americans, hence why we have to import non-Americans. I'm trying to point out why that is - we've made it economic suicide to go into advanced science as an American. At my university, the vast majority of the incoming PhD class in Chemistry and Biochemistry were American when I joined. When I left, it was closer to 50%, the other 50% being mostly Nigerian and Ghanan (no idea why those two countries specifically). The Americans had just been priced out.
