Turns out it was just a matter of making your country shitty enough so more people want to flee from it than get there. Mission accomplished, I guess.

It's weird. When the UK voted to leave the EU, the trajectory was quite clear: exodus of workforce, economic slowdown, crisis in academic research etc. It is all playing out as projected.
But because it was kind of slow, you could kid yourself that it's not going to happen. It was like a slow-mo car crash, like watching "the Titanic" and hoping it will at last moment miss the iceberg.
This feels similar.
