This threatens to be a bigger brain drain than just elite University-level scientists. I know of several US IT professionals who are in the process of getting European citizenship through parent and grandparent eligibility. And some of these are moderate conservatives, not just liberals. There’s a lot of unease at least on the coasts.
I’m weighing up moving back to the UK myself. After over two decades I had never felt the need to even consider this before now. Hopefully it won’t come to that, not least because it would mean uprooting my entire family, it works be a big headache, and because I know the UK isn’t a bed of roses right now either. But the way shit is rapidly unraveling here in the US, I might not have a choice in a few years.
I was in the Netherlands for a couple of years and it was great. I really want to move back but since I don’t have a real degree, they probably won’t give me a visa.
Plus I have a dog and idk about moving him 1/3 of the way across the planet.
I am staying here but I have checked out of the science job market for good. I’m not afraid of physical work and there is no way I will ever work to improve the orphan crushing machine ever again.

I’m not leet but I can deny them my labor.
