76. The common term is "brain drain"

Mon Apr 21, 2025, 10:58 AM

Apr 2025

Some of the red states also have this problem where the youngsters are moving out of the red state in order to live in a place with opportunities. I say go for it.

Moving abroad is easier when you're young but if you're going to a non-english speaking country, you must learn the language. Good luck youngsters!
