    What is this supposed to mean? The brain drain has been underway ever since the fascists took the helm - take the medical field, for example: The CDC used to be an organization of enormous global importance. After this absurd conspiracy-theorist clown took office, the majority of the capable staff were fired because they refused to go along with his anti-science bullshit. Now the CDC is barely a shadow of its former self and has consequently lost both its credibility and its purpose on the international stage. This has cost many lives and done enormous damage to the US as a center of scientific excellence.

    This is the case in many areas, which is hardly surprising under a Nazi regime that portrays science as the enemy.
