And in the meantime? Why not bring in the very best talent, those that want to become citizens and train up Americans at the same time? We lose out when we don’t have a competitive edge.
Only with a large Trump style tariff on that "talent". If we aren't going to allow other countries to undercut our products with cheap imitations then the same applies to workers.
Why would talented workers want to come here only to be docked because of their country of origin. I don’t think y’all get what Vivek and Elon are saying. There is a shortage of talented tech. Why is that? Because of our failed education system and lack of work ethic. You can’t fix that overnight. You can’t take a workforce that can’t do college algebra, can’t understand basic physics concepts, believe climate change is real, and turn them into tech nerds overnight. Be pissed off about the hard truth, but it’s our fault, we let this bullshit happen and now we are going to have to deal with the consequences.
The tech talent shortage is largely bullshit, just as these supposed labor shortages are. The real truth is there’s a shortage of people who want to work for peanuts. H1B and such are just about suppressing wages.
Also, some of these areas are so new that our education system hasn’t had a chance to pump them out yet. But that doesn’t stop CEOs and HR from asking for AI Engineers with 30 years of experience.
Take a good hard look at the current workforce, millennials, in the US and tell me that we don’t have a real problem. We have people who aren’t capable of critical thinking, whine about everything, got fooled by masking and climate change and you think they’re the best and brightest? Sure that makes sense.
