To clarify, I'm not suggesting an outright ban - that would be a foreign policy gaffe of monumental proportions. I also have no prejudice towards Chinese people, but I do feel that it is time for Americans to unite, realize that their

I definitely agree with what you're suggesting would be a great idea, but I'm not sure something like that could happen in the near future. I get the impression that the Democrats and their media have not entirely endorsed the tra

Last one regarding, for example, US developing a massive competitive advantage with the internet right after their housing market crash. I won't debate any further because clearly I'm going to get downvoted for doing anything othe

By the same token, there's no reason to think they'll fall anywhere near or under 5% in the near future. They have 1.5 billion people with a higher average IQ than the US with a strong educational culture, increasing economic oppo

I don't think it's going far enough. There are several hundreds variables completely separating China and the USSR and Japan from a blanket comparison. I would like to hope that they hit the breaks in the same way that Japan did,

That’s a very common term which he did not coin, so it’s ridiculous to ascribe that to him. Also- correct me if I’m wrong- when he uses it, it will be solely in regard to internet censorship & like activities, namely from Google/fb

First of all, the tech industry isn’t even part of Steve bannon’s platform- they’re only referring to unskilled labor from what I’ve seen - we’re not on their radar. Second, your casual brushing aside of an fair ideology conveys who the pse

This program needs to end. H1B a bandaid over our complete failure to provide a modern education and bring young people into STEM, while dually deflating middle class wages for the tech oligarchs across the industry for several decades. And

Are you implying balkanization of the internet is a bad thing? An open internet seems like a stoner hippie concept - as it stands currently, we're playing around in an open field while China has built a fortress next door and is lobbin
