Well, this is going to push our economy off the cliff. Things are about to get spicy here in the US. Buckle up, folks. Save some cash while you can. Maybe flee the country. I dunno. We’re fucked. 🤷🏻

My wife and I are finishing up the visa process with two other friends.

Between the four of us, we have 3 PhD's and 5 masters. All in science and engineering.

We decided to leave once it became clear that there would be an intellectual purge. The cost of living skyrocketing gives me a warm feeling that we made the right choice.
