It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

Martin keeps telling people that he has begun "inquiries" into them. That is not a thing
The US Attorney in Washington DC is investigating Georgetown Law School, demanding that "if DEI is found in your courses or teaching in anyway [sic]," the law school should "move swiftly to remove it"
Federal prosecutors don’t control the classroom. This is a dark abdication of the First Amendment.

Frankly, it's no wonder police rely on guns so much. I have 3.5 years of martial arts training and was just getting into how to handle people with weapons. In Arkansas, the minimum training time for police certification is 13 weeks.
