Great article. The pundits that are “confused” about why all this is happening need to read this. Thanks for posting.

Smart thinking. All the best in your new life. Germany and europe should be booming for the next few years so hope you can take advantage. Cheers

Where are you heading, if I may ask. Is this something you’ve been thinking about for a while or just with recent developments? I’m very disappointed that Canada didn’t immediately start publicly inviting STEM people north and spending lots to create openings and programs.

That covers some Chinese departures over a period prior to trumps policies but there are a lot more nationalities to cover and more recently I would expect the number to increase substantially. Thanks for the info though. I’m sure there’s more movement to come.

Are they though? I haven’t seen many stories about it but would entirely expect this to be the case. Especially because many are suddenly unemployed.

If the choice is having them help your “enemy” or subjecting them to personal trauma, which do you think they’ll choose?

How long before they’re not allowed to leave?

This is what we call “hedging your bets”.

Don’t know where to start with this one. Creating more political parties just splits the vote. In a “first pass the post” election set up, this would be a disaster. Allowing someone to become extremely rich is not necessarily a problem. The problem should really be looked at more from the gap between them and the normies. Shrink that gap and that lessons the problem. The biggest problem with extreme wealth in an individual or corporation is the outsized influence they have on politics and government. Your SC’s citizen united decision is the real problem that generates a lot of the hate for the rich. Rich people don’t want to be taxed more (in general) so if you try to force it on them they will look for solutions like relocating their tax home. You would need to have tools to punish attempts to do this, like loss of citizenship and asset seizures. These are not popular steps and could sink any initiative before it begins. Those are just some of the problems I see. There are many, many more.
