Its not even clear what the criteria is. China and India are making big moves in the technology and education space and their economies are growing. They haven't had the head start that other countries had, but they are on the up.
I admire your commitment to de-chuddify. I hope you have a commitment to accuracy too. The lack of commitment to accuracy was my biggest disappointment in you after your political shift.
I guess you think they weren't good enough because they didnt solve poverty in India or stop corruption in China before they immigrated. Thats pretty absurd reasoning
I dont know if youve spent time in startup culture or in the R&D world in America or at the top American research institutions. Look at some of the names of the people in that world. Many are immigrants or children of immigrants.
A population is made up of individuals. The same factors that make an individual talented scientist more likely to succeed in America would make group of scientists more likely to succeed in America.
But the number of people we admit with the current caps is already way under 1% the population of China or India. Such a cap would be redundant.
But people did. Elon would be a good engineer in South Africa but not as successful as he is in America. Same for all the talented engineers and scientists in India.
1) Institutions can have a multiplicative effect on talent
2) Those guys were already benefiting their country
Look at the statistics on Indian immigrants. They outearn white Americans, are disproportionately represented in STEM and higher education and are helping make American technology and education competitive globally. Its plain to see Podhoretz is right that they blessed America.
1) Podhoretz is talking about Indian immigrants
2) Yes this applies to selected population as well as individuals
3) We already have immigration caps just not on a per country basis. Its not clear what per country caps would accomplish.
It would be like me saying recruiting Slavic talent like Jokic and Doncic has benefitted the NBA and you responding that most Slavs aren't good at sports.
Its not about the population in India. Its about a selected group of Indians who were selected to immigrate to America. Its like asking why America brings so talented Slavs like Doncic to the NBA when the basketball leagues in Slavic nations are worse than the NBA.
Dems worry a lot about candidate quality. There was a lot of discourse over whether Platner, El-Sayed, Nixon ..etc were good candidates.
You guys would probably vote for him for president seeing how you had no problem wirh Trump hanging with Fuentes and pardoning Proud Boy insurrectionists.
Medicare for all was just a slogan Sanders used to promote his Canadian single payer style plan and didnt really have a relationship to Medicare. Other dems with universal Healthcare plans started adopting tbe slogan , so M4All doesnt really mean much now.
Its more about Colom's center left policies (as opposed to Bernie's progressive policy) than his accent.
She was a Russian camgirl. He flew out to meet her and presented himself as a wealthy American businessman who would buy her expensive gifts, when his marijuana dispensary was in debt and had dubious legal standing.
