How neoliberalism paves the way for fascism:
Also confirmed by research from Italy:

The podcast and a few linked articles are in Dutch. The research, also linked, is in English.
"A prominent cancer scientist is uprooting his Harvard University lab of two decades and moving it to Texas. A laid-off expert on aging abandoned academia for a more secure municipal research job in New York City. And a women’s health researcher, exhausted by the churn of immigration policies, made the wrenching decision to start over in Canada.
Their departures illustrate a sobering new reality: The Trump administration’s research funding cuts, abrupt policy shifts, and crackdown on immigration are driving a brain drain that threatens Massachusetts’ standing as a global hub of biomedical research, its economy – and the fight against major diseases such as childhood cancers, Alzheimer’s, and sickle cell.
To better understand the impact of the cuts, the Globe partnered with MassINC Polling Group. Together they reached out to nearly 4,000 scientists who received funding from the National Institutes of Health. Ultimately 367 completed the survey, which MassINC’s president, Steve Koczela, described as a solid response rate.
The results were stark: Over two-thirds said they recommend their students consider careers outside academia. The majority had delayed hiring in their labs, and one-third had laid off workers. More than one in six said they have lost researchers to institutions in other countries since Trump took office. Sixty-eight percent said funding cuts and federal policy changes had moderately or significantly reduced the scope of their work."
