10. Undoubtedly recruiting goes on all the time

Even the companies with US HQ addresses have research labs all over the world. I imagine it will be extremely difficult to recruit the best talent to move to the US at this stage. There are lots of research operations in Canada, UK, Switzerland, Germany, France, China, Japan and many other places. If I were a young researcher, just finishing my PhD from Stanford or wherever, just starting a family, I would definitely be thinking about moving to one of those other countries.

The brain drain will start quietly, one researcher at a time. But by the end of 4 years of Trump, it could have so much momentum as to be irreversible for a generation or two.

The damage these Republicans are doing is immeasurable.
