America is now basically letting the people who failed out and/or peaked in high school (and who said stupid things about having “street smarts” and how “book smarts” never did anyone no good anyhow) metaphorically give wedgies and swirlies to experts, to the educated, and to people with more intelligence. All so they “do their own research” now, I guess.

Why are top US scientists choosing to move their research careers to China?
10,000 PhDs have left the US in just one year.
