    I agree, and to expand on that a bit, I’d add that China has a much better education system that’s available to everyone. So, China does a much better job providing education opportunities for its people. And state direction of the economy ensures that more people end up going into STEM fields.

    US has traditionally compensated for lack of a good and accessible education system by simply poaching talent from across the world. However, as economic conditions in US continue to worsen, this strategy becomes increasingly less effective.

      One that they’re still rolling out and expanding, as Americans claw theirs back.

      US has traditionally compensated for lack of a good and accessible education system by simply poaching talent from across the world. However, as economic conditions in US continue to worsen, this strategy becomes increasingly less effective.

      The US has been able to parlay its wealth and comfort (or, at least, the illusion of it) into net positive migration.

      I think we’ll continue to see the US enjoy net migration, simply because it stands a good chance of coming out of the Climate Apocalypse better than it’s equatorial peers.

      But stronger even than the US is Russia. I have to wonder what a mass movement into Siberia is going to look like over the next century.

        That’s a good point actually. As the climate changes, we will likely see start seeing northern parts of Russia and Canada open up for development.
