21st Century Dilemma - The Great Brain Drain

I you live in a shithole like Maine, as I do, you notice that all the leaders, the smart folks, the innovators, are all gone. Left behind are the followers, the only ones willing to work for $8/hr (I did for a while)

The talented folks like Anna Kendrick and the rest have moved on to where the action is. It certainly isn't here

This is a big problem for the country. Being smart is more important than it's ever been. Smart people go where other smart people are. To places like Manhattan and Boston and LA, where they can live interesting lives and be rewarded handsomely for their gifts

Those left behind work registers, giving out change. Or sell drugs and live underground

How do we solve this? No idea. But it's a massive problem for the world. A stupid person can't make 50k a year anymore. More like 15k. Big difference

Get me out of here
