    Throughout my life, it has been a truism that the US is the easiest and best place to do business in the world (albeit, with the possible exception of pre-handover Hong Kong). This development – diverting and refusing human talent – is not the way to go. The marketplace of ideas is not something the US can afford to relinquish.
