Hell I would leave if I didn't have a son to take care of. My degree would be more valued overseas and I wouldn't have to deal with a population openly hostile to education.

Truly, it feels like Trump and Musk and the others at the top of the economic pyramid have a unified vision for America in the coming decades, and it involves people like them living as inherited wealth royalty, as they control the markets, and the political world, and the poor...not sure where we fit in the coming Ai debacle and software and robots work for peanuts and for the profits of our betters
A child of a poor man deserves exactly the same good education and medical care as a child of the unbearably rich...and if that isn't possible then he rich do not deserve to rule.
