Yeah but this stuff always runs into the brick wall of chronic conditions and lifetime disability. Even in a universe where disability cover was confined to just exceedingly obvious issues the costs can snowball ridiculously

Vets have a staggeringly high suicidal rate which is atleast partly due to the amount of euthanasia that their jobs tend to involve. I've got veterinary friends and the stories they tell are quite depressing.

Pregnancy still has a pretty big toll physically even if the child rearing is completely handled by others.

TFA is a mediocre Star Wars film. TLJ essentially derailed the whole trajectory though

China has the benefit of a capable, talented hardworking base with motivations beyond their own immediate paycheck. Unfortunately other potential players are needful of the same dedication and commitment.

Dissuade the best and brightest? Not the employers? It's not like the bestest and brightest are the ones paying directly.

I thihk the best pathway would be for the best and brightest to go back to places of origin and work super hard to develop their own competing paradigms. Every best and brightest who's working on product management or consulting or zero sum finance nonsense is somebody who could be making an active difference in the future. Sadly most lack the personal courage to build a future for themselves.

The best and brightest aren't getting kicked out by a 100k charge. As lovers of subcontinental culture we should be thankful that the happy medium tier remains and is given opportunities to affect systemic reward. It would be a tragedy and an utter betrayal of one's fellow man to abscond to go play zero sum games in the West

Personally prefer the first 4 books since I feel they were a lot better from a fantasy world building perspective whilst the latter half turns inward
