In America we built companies art and music out of our garages just for the love of it... not because "that's where the compensation was."
Meanwhile where there is food there is no need to move.

Because if not, then investments to Nigeria past $x will grant it the upperhand since all that money can get you another doctor and more.
You cannot expect an article to tell you these things.
Whether they work in Nigeria or not is not the issue. The issue is that they are doing it without compensating the country. Worse, they clearly don't intend to come back again (so you don't Ever get compensated at all, not just suffering time value of money) otherwise there's no need for a 5 year penalty. which is relatively huge compared to what the other countries are doing.
I guess sending money back home is not big in Nigeria culturally like it is in Mexico? Welp, I can't enforce you to send money back but guess what, I can enforce you to not leave at all.
It absolutely is the issue, because Nigeria has a shortage of doctors. It has nothing to do with whether or not Nigerian doctors send money back home. If they send lots of money back home, they still aren't in Nigeria practicing medicine, which is what Nigeria actually wants.
If this was about money then there'd be no reason to make a law specific to doctors, as many other Nigerians emigrate for better economic prospects elsewhere.
> which is what Nigeria actually wants
Declared by who? And that politically correct statement is believed by who? (other than you)

??? Doctor training is one of the Top heavily subsidized by the state. (As with weapons. but no one is chanting "Weapons Weapons Weapons" but "Doctors Doctors Doctors" because PC, as zelensky the clown has found out the hard way even for a christian country.) Sure, it's expensive to subsidize the capital for a literature major to sit in a beautiful airconditioned classroom with a courtyard.. at least until you find out the annual mortgage of a PBT facility.
Tldr use common sense. If every doctor I export out of the country gets me 4.48b cf js.do/code/740428 (prepaid btw, for the correct interest rate to charge does not make any sense considering the country may not be around for another 99y), then I only need to export 100 per year [out of 220M] to twice my gdp; heck you'd do it all day long every single day.
Yet people built it and made it that way.
Nothing is static people csn change anything
These people need to do that in their own countries.
That's false. By definition none would have come if there wasn't opportunity. You don't need to be a geography student to see that it wasn't just irreligious opportunity.
Gold rush and stuff is just a bonus, the big money is in cattle and agriculture.
The company remained for many generations but most (not all) individual British people stationed themselves in India and retired 'home' to England where to whence the money flowed.
Many European countries regarded their "colonies" as places to exploit for resources, places to be travelled to for work for many years, places they didn't regard as 'home'.
There's more to "colonisation" than just simple migration.
Even in Australia the early colonisation was by settler families that were part of larger stay at home families, the black sheep, wayward sons, and fortune seeking adventurers .. in Australia convicts and servant families remained, ultimately a good proportion of the underwritten (from home) settlers stayed .. but initially at least many heads of these families "returned home" to England.
In a similar manner modern USofA has many institutional "colonies" around the globe, bases they've established and never left, these rarely have permanently settled multi generational families.
they are typically the top performing GDP countries of their region with some of the best quality of life for their citizens
Immigrants have made the country rich enough to give everyone ubi free housing and free healthcare. But Then Billionaires.
#immigrants-are-the-new-jews #stop-blaming-the-hand-that-feeds
( Of course, it's not billionaires per se, but Greed. Eg in countries like singapore, the Politicians are the problem. )
For a living example, take a look at UAE, although I'd say they could have treated immigrants a bit better.
I certainly don't blame anyone for wanting to move to improve their situation (I did it too!) but I wonder if developing countries would have caught up to the West decades ago if this brain drain wasn't going on.
In the 90s demand for graphic chips was massive just due to basic economic forces.
An immigrant just got to it first.
If an immigrant didn't start the company a legacy American like Mark Cuban or Gates would have.
There's plenty of smart people in America both as entrepreneurs and as employees.
We definitely don't need more immigrants here.
Also, if your argument is true we shouldn't be poaching immigrants from other countries anyway and depriving other countries of their brain power to make their country better.
Or somebody in another country?
Not worried about other countries AT ALL.
not true
> the internet
www was invented at CERN by tim berner-lee though?
but still I should expand my claim to say all modern computing was invented by Western countries
Europe didn't do as much of inventing modern computing (though Bletchley Park would like a word) because it was still trying to recover from the destruction of WWII, and that set them back a decade. China and India didn't, because they were more than a decade behind. Having 20 times the population doesn't mean you're at the cutting edge.
From Wikipedia
> His paternal grandfather changed the surname from "Chabenisky" to "Cuban" after his family emigrated from Russia through Ellis Island.[14][15] His maternal grandparents were Romanian Jewish immigrants
That's where everyone in America came from.
Same culture, same history, same values.
Western civilization seems to create high trust societies that other cultures struggle to replicate.
People say America was founded on immigration which is true but they neglect to say that it was immigration FROM EUROPE.
Immigrants from non-western countries weren't allowed into America en masse until the 1965 immigration act.

Seems every time you try to make some fundamentally discriminatory point the definition has to keep expanding form e.g. Britain, to EUROPE to Western to whatever.
Democracy is Greek. Our counting system is Arabic. 0 is an Indian concept. etc etc etc.
Progress is just a flame and people who know they can make it happen go to where other similar people are.
> Progress is just a flame and people who know they can make it happen go to where other similar people are.
yet progress only seems to be happening in Western countries and has been for centuries and everyone continuously tries to immigrate to Western countries and never in the reverse direction.
I struggle to agree with you
Did you even bother picking up a for-kids textbook on world history? 250 years is incredibly short, it's not even 10%?
For centuries.. "western" countries did not even exist.
This reminds me of an old daoist quote I heard ages ago, probably in high school:
Those that know, do not speak. Those who speak, do not know.
In other words:
If you have to say you know it all, you know fuck all.
And ends it with America is "high trust" like as if they never heard of Japan...
And I still can't leave a darn Chromebook in the library for a 5min toilet break without losing it because the trust is so high.
I live in a suburban town I can leave my stuff at a table and go to the restroom with no worries.
what do you think the difference between my town and yours is?
The difference is that one is a town and the other isn't. A town has barely any people. Just because you can leave your stuff at home does not make the country a high-trust country. Among countries US is a low-trust country.
> Japan is an exception
Japan is not the exception. It isn't even the leader, just a well-known and famous country. I encourage you to travel a bit and escape the echo chamber of Douglas Murray books and other western culture supremacists. Stop reading and start seeing. You will be shocked to find at least 100 high-trust cultures and will understand why your standards were that low.
Er, quite a lot came from Africa.
the surest sign of a midwit is the inability to infer.
What about the people who were already there? Surely they'd still be a substantial portion of the population?
I guess they must have all left voluntarily because they didn't agree with Western values.
they got conquered if you look at history books
> they didn't agree with Western values.
you don't ever disagree with people who you share the same values and culture with?
I don't agree with Cesaire much, but you cannot discuss about colonialism without reading him first.
But given how Irish and Italians were treated back then, I imagine Eastern Europe immigrants had it even worse
Are you saying all those companies would still exist if there was no immigration?
Extending the same logic, the British colonies never needed to be established. Native Americans would have started Nvidia on their own eventually. (“Silicon Cahokia?”)
dubious and meaningless metric
> Native Americans would have started Nvidia on their own eventually. (“Silicon Cahokia?”)
doubtful. It takes Western Civilization culture to build great things. It's why every other culture wants to immigrate to Western civilization and no one wants to immigrate in the reverse direction.
> takes Western Civilization culture to build great things
That's crazy talk often uttered by supremacist [killers] who refuse to read history, thinking that Americans invented guns while knowing nothing of Suez canals, Congolese hands, Opium wars. Before the industrial revolution, the "barbarians" were not even on the map. It does take one from a superior culture to come to US and understand the people to know what mcbc (term I coined for "money cannot buy culture") means.
[btw you can give a baby all the land and oil in the world, that makes it rich, not cultured] [at least Genghis Khan doesn't go around pretending that he has learned culture]
Is this an actual immigration path that still remains open? I find it hard to believe.
Most born Americans certainly have no fainest clue how hard it is to legally immigrate to the USA already.
Who knew.. that the racist plan to ensure the population stays white actually had the reverse effect.. 2024 and nothing's still being done about it because That's racist doh!
the people most likely to immigrate aren't the smartest but the people with the most money who can pay to hack the system

On the flip side, you have to wonder where the American tech industry would be without immigrants.
Nvidia was founded by the son of Taiwanese parents who sent their children to live with an uncle in the US. That's one of the many immigration paths that the MAGAs want to close.
Was the creation of Nvidia a "handout to corporations"? Intel sure would be happy if Jensen Huang had never made it to America.
