Great piece, thanks.

Smart thinking. All the best in your new life. Germany and europe should be booming for the next few years so hope you can take advantage. Cheers

Where are you heading, if I may ask. Is this something you’ve been thinking about for a while or just with recent developments? I’m very disappointed that Canada didn’t immediately start publicly inviting STEM people north and spending lots to create openings and programs.

That covers some Chinese departures over a period prior to trumps policies but there are a lot more nationalities to cover and more recently I would expect the number to increase substantially. Thanks for the info though. I’m sure there’s more movement to come.

Are they though? I haven’t seen many stories about it but would entirely expect this to be the case. Especially because many are suddenly unemployed.

If the choice is having them help your “enemy” or subjecting them to personal trauma, which do you think they’ll choose?

How long before they’re not allowed to leave?

I had a brief look and confirmed this is similar to our property taxes in North America. The exception being that it is tied to net worth and not just the value of the property. Overall that might mean you pay more but it depends on your wealth and the rate the canton charges. Interesting though, thanks.

I’m against child quotas but for education on what exactly population growth and shrinkage entails. Let people understand what the implications and solutions are for the various scenarios of the future. Ultimately I see a profound lack of hope for our futures is leading young people to not want to bring a child into the world older generations have built. I am with them 100%. A solution I have introduced in previous discussions is a suicide pill that any elderly that can no longer be supported by society could take to avoid and painful and lonely death. That has not gone over well, lol.

Unfortunately and as with everything, the actions of a few cause a reaction that affects so many. The rise of the right has been driven primarily by immigration of people looking for the promise of democratic freedom and opportunity. These incidents are used to prevent this migration entirely.

Is this right? Should people have a right to migrate in hopes of a better life? Some you might identify as far left don’t feel boarders should exist at all. Others believe that borders should be sealed and only people who would benefit the society within should enter (sadly based on the colour of their skin as well). The obvious answer is that the best practice probably falls somewhere in the middle.

I have two takes on this. The first is that immigration should be ended as we are entering the end of our societies ability to support existing populations with food and shelter, due to climate change. The second is that regardless of circumstances, never flee your country if you don’t like what’s going on. Fight to change it, even if you have to die trying. That is what I plan to do.
