Elon Musk’s Christmas Day remarks kicked off a polarizing discussion on high-skilled immigration and Silicon Valley’s talent shortage. Is the U.S. failing its own engineering potential?
Fascinating commentary DR, thank you for explaining this topic, something I didn't appreciate. I've been a CFO of a Silicon Valley company and understand the H1B / compensation issue, but didn't understand the educational implications and what the USA needs to do differently -- thx again!
Have you seen Andreeson's take on H1B, DEI, and associated issues? It's about 2.5 hours into his interview with Lex Fridman. His point is that what makes people really, really angry about H1B's is the barriers put in the way of American talent. The telling point is who gets the leg up at the elite universities. He also points out how the National Merit Scholar program is NOT used as at talent scouting system by the universities. Bottom line, like you he thinks we are failing to use our own talent pool.
H-1B was implemented for shareholders not workers. When $ devalues year by year, it's a race to the bottom. Re-peg to Gold on Blockchain (micropayments) and get the Government out of trade except for resolution of large disputes.
