America is bleeding: billions in capital, talent, and research are leaving the country under Trump’s volatile leadership. From frozen university funds to record-high visa fees, the U.S. is driving away the very people who built its innovation power. Meanwhile, Europe is quietly stepping up — offering scientific asylum, new talent visas, and major funding to attract America’s best minds. But can Europe truly turn America’s pain into its gain, or will bureaucracy hold it back?
Everybody does, but it really depends on how bad you fumble and if you can course correct. Right now the two biggest competitiors the US and China both have mass surveillance for example. So even if it happens, the EU would just fall to their level. Still the goal should be to be better then the rest. Not by putting them down, but by improving the EU.
