Competing with China in emerging tech without recruiting more international talent is like trying to run a race with one leg tied behind your back. 🏃
The House Select Committee on China has an opportunity to right the course.

ICYMI since you have a social life and aren’t perpetually online.
I wrote for @Forbes on how @RepGallagher could lead the new Select Committee focused on CCP to succeed by addressing critical issues that are sometimes missing from the conversation.

Last week Congress created a Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the United States & the CCP.

My episode 1 verdict: Pedro and Bella are perfect for Joel and Ellie. Feels like the characters were made for them.
And the opening sequence was just as harrowing as I found it 10 years ago. So hard to watch, but harder to look away.

The era of the pour-over speakeasy has begun
Quote Tweet
My strategy for raising productivity:
— Legalize apartments and small lot single-family homes everywhere
— Cost-benefit analysis for nuclear safety regulation
— Ban pour-over coffee
The House agreed, 365-65, to establish a House Select Committee on Strategic Competition Between the U.S. and China.
The panel will investigate and make policy recs on “the status of the CCP's economic, technological, and security progress and its competition with the U.S.”

Alas, legislation to increase employment-based immigration in the U.S. is blocked in Congress.
But we can still do something: update Schedule A.

The Secretary of Education saying the quiet part out loud, that American education exists to make workers for industry, not to make good citizens or smart adults.

New from me and on why should restart domestic revalidation—and how to do it!
When students asked to restart this in 2018, their response was that it was “not feasible to do [biometric collection] stateside.” 🫠

Since 2004, guest workers have to travel abroad to renew their visas
Reviving domestic reissuance—and expanding it to include students—would ease the renewal process for visitors while lightening the caseload at consulates

This, coupled with the incessant advertising, has the potential to drive people away.
People are less likely to encounter the content that keeps them on the platform. Let’s see how that works out.

When people divorce words from their meaning, they open themselves up to manipulation via those same words.
Evidence shows that H-1b workers RAISE skilled Americans' wages, and increase hiring as well. They also increase innovation. And once you control for skill, they're not paid less than their American counterparts.
