How old are you? What is happening now at the NSF and NIH will knock the US off its technological perch in less than 15 to 20 years. We are already fighting to maintain an edge as it is.

What this means to you personally and other tech workers is that many of the well-paying tech jobs will be going elsewhere.

At this point I'm not sure that's a bad thing. It would be kind of great to be able to get a decent job somewhere that isn't a dystopia.

It's not a bad thing...for those other countries. As an American you're not going to be able to get those jobs. You think a Chinese company is going to want to hire a remote American worker, who is 10 time zones away, doesn't speak the language, doesn't know the culture, and who wants to work only 40 hours a week? Maybe not even if you're willing to work for $20/hour.

Why would there be decent jobs? And what makes you think there wont be only more dystopia if this descent isn’t arrested?

Like, it can ALWAYS be worse.
