The Red State Brain Drain Isn’t Coming. It’s Happening Right Now.
As conservative states wage total culture war, college-educated workers—physicians, teachers, professors, and more—are packing their bags.
This is an excellent article, if you don’t have the time to read there’s also a 40 minute recording!
Putting aside the content, this was a fantastically well written article. It was long but I kept reading because it told such a tale.
And, the inline sources were, generally, actual sources like statistics and research articles. I detest articles that just link to other news sources - I want the source of truth, not to play telephone. So good on the author for avoiding that trend!
Excellent article. I personally know multiple doctors who have taken significant pay cuts, uprooted everything, and moved across the country to escape red state politics just as the article reports. Doctors just want to treat patients as well as possible, not be thrown in jail for practicing good medicine.
The only silver lining I can find is a bit selfish, but it’s really nice that the trans population of MN is growing explosively. Can’t even leave the house in the metro without seeing other GNC folks.
