Why must tech growth be spread across America? Places like SF & Seattle are better equipped for it than Dayton & Wichita. Evening the distribution may sound like Neat And Orderly Policy, but it violates basic econ principles like comparative advantage & economies of scale.https://twitter.com/BrookingsMetro/status/1204070403766988800 …
It’s like they’re recommending a car factory in every state instead of a network of closely linked suppliers and processors based in the Midwest.

Yep, it's the bureaucratic mindset at work. I also like that they bring foreign affairs into it. Brookings: "we need even distribution of tech jobs." Me: "but why? That doesn't make economic sense." Brookings: "because China"

Brookings is right about "because China", but their execution for it sucks. I'm not really sure how to foment tech in the US, but expected it to be evenly distributed is comical.
