US Brain drain started circa 2006 or 2007, when smart people who had well paying jobs watched their country sell them down the river, to bail out banks.

They saw countries where they could raise their kids, without worrying about becoming a pauper with a single medical incident, or not worry about their kids dying in yet another school schooling. They saw a place they could call home, that didn't have them on the edge of survival every, single, day.

The racist roots of our country, which were well hidden for a good 30 years was ripped wide open for all to see, and they wanted none of that for themselves, or their (future) families.

They left.

There is a very vocal minority locally who opposes all women being allowed to participate in women's sports.

Most people, locally, don't care. And same in Rochester. And Syracuse.

The podunk towns in the middle? Probably a bigger minority, but still a minority.

I don't think it's ghastly that everyone pays into making sure the bottom floor of schooling exists...

It's a shame it's been distorted, though, with Reich Wingers and Libertarians trying to make public education a for profit insitution....

More akin to Elon insisting the cybertruck is the way of the future, and people just keep buying Rivians and internal combustion vehicles.

Rather than the very well thought out decision to vote blue no matter who, and voted for whoever the DNC tells you to vote for?

Partly, they do. Mostly, it's title ix funding.

Back to the Nazi, separate them from the rest of society.

Permanently. Like how we permanently separated Nazis from the rest of the world in the 1940s.

The answer to the German question is that they spend a great deal of money on having an excellent education system,

I think it was more that they had their country completely flattened due to them being fascists, and didn't want it to happen again.
