      Lol. Opportunity to be on the other side of the brain drain effect but refuse it. Fine, some other continent will reap the benefits of a bunch of smart expats.

        Well, as an Australian I’d hope they’d not come here either, happy to have refugees and help then out as much as possible but not Americans.

        As to brain drain, you come from a country that’s destroying the planet, acts like a spoiled child when it doesn’t get it’s way, (look at the reaction to the ICC arrest warrants for Israel) you’ve created a monster that has little to admire, the “brains” that created all that will hopefully stay there.

        This is a country that has threatened to invade the Hague if any US person or allly is indicted by the ICC for example. Churlish doesn’t even begin to describe it, stay there.

          The Americans that would flee a Trump administration aren’t the ones destroying the planet and acting like spoiled children.

          I don’t think many Americans will want to go to the deadliest continent on the planet. I see a lot going to South America, parts of Africa and Europe.

        Yeah we know American “brains”, that’s why we aren’t so keen. We don’t need you guys turning us into the US, too.

          If we had had that attitude when fascism was on the rise in Europe we would never have gotten Einstein or Tesla or half of our best and brightest.

          We became so much better by taking in anti-facist refugees in the past, it’s funny and sad to see these edgy comments when the situation is reversed. I’m proud we weren’t so stupid in our history, we benefited greatly from taking them.

            Einstein or…Tesla(!) yeah that’s exactly the brain farts we’d get from you clowns. You’re all scam artists one way or another. No Einsteins in sight, We don’t have vacancies anyway,
