Passing The Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act would help boost innovation ties with India while; something we need given rampant Chinese innovation mercantilism and IP theft.

- Can’t beleive CNN did not ask a single question re China
- This should be embarrassing and concerning. With significantly lower wages, China has 60 percent more industrial robots per worker than U.S. does. At this rate we will be the low-wage, low-skill economy.
- Replying to @JimPethokoukisCountry is too crowded as is. But clearly if we got to a billion the quality of life for most Americans would go down. Traffic congestion, lack of access to open spaces, smaller houses, etc. What makes America great is that we have low population density
- Replying to @JimPethokoukis300 million is a better goal
- At a time we need to be building a North American production system to counter China Trump is doing the opposite.
- Replying to @metadiogenes and @LHSummersDon’t forget actively opposing a national manufacturing strategy as innapropriate “industrIal policy”
- Bill Gates and Elon Musk are wrong: Artificial intelligence is not going to take over world salon.com/2015/10/15/cal…
- I am so happy that the EU let’s me click cookie acceptance policies. I read them all very carefully and make very informed decisions. I am now empowered. Thank you EU!!!
- Replying to @haugejosteinWrong. Closed domestic market, combined with massive export subsidies is not just overproduction, its industrial predation. Wake up
- When controlling for wage levels, Chinese manufacturers use 12 times more robots per worker than do US manufacturers. @RobotNext @AZoRobotics @a3automate @davidpgoldman @ASMEdotorg
- Replying to @RoKhannaAgree. Raising minimum wage should be bipartisan no-brainer
- There's little evidence for today's AI alarmism. And that alarmism serves as Luddite fuel, at a time when we need to be accelerating AI innovation and adoption.
