Haven't European schools been cheaper since like the 80s tho?

So I would think the brain drain would have happened a long time ago, like back in the 90s. Sadly, most of us Americans will just keep paying more and more for stuff rather than give any of it up.

The message "america is best" used to be shouted everywhere they had a chance. It might be bullshit, but say it enough and it sticks.

Then again, the scars that the nazi's left behind are still visible. With how recent that was back in the 90's I wouldn't blame people for being careful. Moving countries isn't a thing most people do every few decades.
