@VivekGRamaswamy It starts with parenting. But then you constantly have to re-parent your kids because of the crap the schools program them with. Gut the DoE, send the money to the states. Give parents more control. I had enough and took my daughter out of school in 4th grade.

The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH: Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG. A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers. A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers. (Fact: I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates). More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.” Most normal American parents look skeptically at “those kinds of parents.” More normal American kids view such “those kinds of kids” with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve. Now close your eyes & visualize which families you knew in the 90s (or even now) who raise their kids according to one model versus the other. Be brutally honest. “Normalcy” doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent. And if we pretend like it does, we’ll have our asses handed to us by China. This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness. That’s the work we have cut out for us, rather than wallowing in victimhood & just wishing (or legislating) alternative hiring practices into existence. I’m confident we can do it. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

@daxinel @GeoRebekah I hear ya but what I meant was there is no line chart for deaths. It’s flat to down so cases up is not whole story.

@JGD @GeoRebekah Her numbers actually show a lower death rate. But all people read are the headlines

@KevinMKruse @petersagal @billprady Bruh...keep your fantasies to yourself... its clogging up my feed. 👊

@rgmcdermott @realDonaldTrump @SmithInAmerica Did @SmithInAmerica do this under Obama? Of course not because @SmithInAmerica is not a journalist, @SmithInAmerica is a useful pawn of the DNC machine that happens to work at a "news" place.

INCITEFUL DH🖕 @realDonaldTrump accused of using coronavirus briefing as corporate advertising spot @SmithInAmerica theguardian.com/us-news/2020/m…

@loisbeckett @SmithInAmerica I guess they'd rather their cozy blanket that is Obama, speaking like a prof at them but saying nothing. Newsflash...Nobody cares about the feelings of journalists. Do your job & quit acting like anyone but Trump would have the unlock codes to handling this crisis.

.@SmithinAmerica has a vivid account of what it was like to be in the room for Trump's economy-focused coronavirus presser today, an experience multiple journalists described as terrifying. "I am genuinely scared," one wrote. theguardian.com/world/2020/mar…

@MartinPengelly @ccwhip @SmithInAmerica sure...assuming the purpose of the press is to "gotcha" the POTUS...but sort of weird they didn't do this under Obama.

“God bless Yamiche Alcindor but I think the rest of the press corps need to be more aggressive, not less aggressive” - ⁦@ccwhip⁩ to ⁦@SmithInAmerica⁩ - theguardian.com/world/2020/apr…

It usually goes like this: - board member not paying attention, checking email - a brief mention of a buzzword like “cloud” gets his attention - board member looks up: “I invested in a cloud company in 2002. You should talk to XX. He’s great.” - an hour of CEO time wasted.

Zoning is the problem...and not just in Oregon. In California as well. Fix your zoning!!! don’t fix rents. SMH #zoning #affordablehousing #realestate marketwatch.com/story/oregon-a…

@ricardorossello Rebuilding PR starts with visualizing zoning and development capacity to make informed and data driven decisions. Gridics @gridicsre can help PR just as we've done for City of Miami, City of Fort Lauderdale and many more. gridics.com
