Widespread layoffs. Hiring freezes. The attack on science is blistering. The number of my friends that have lost their jobs is creeping up daily.
Very curious which countries here in Europe (and beyond) will step up and start offering talent hires.
It is absolutely gutting to watch my home country fall apart.

That is true. It is good that the world saw how Trump and Vance bullied the leader of a country that was attacked and that the US now openly sides with Russia.
That is indeed important for the world to see.
