They're sending their best (seriously, the bar is that low on America... it's actually really sad)

A decent portion of our best have already left.

I'm going to stay and fight, but I respect the ones who choose to leave.

You know it is bad when "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" only existed because "Are you smarter than a 7th grader" would be too difficult for the average person in the US to win.

Joking aside, it is really sad especially when you see the state the country is in today because of the brain drain over the last few decades leaving about 75% of the US adult population with literacy skills at or below a 6th grade level. (21% is clinically illiterate)
