Silicon Valley startups, I've recently heard, are 50% foreigners.... On the tech side perhaps even higher. The business side is still dominated by Americans. The tech people will start out making significantly more than the business side out of school but it doesn't take too many years then the business folk make more than the tech guys. And the business folk will bitch about the high cost of the tech folks and demand H1B's to drive down the cost. Ask yourself why H1B's aren't used to hire sales/marketing/finance people? If engineers were fairly compensated there would be a lot more American born PhDs.

When we look at the economies that are out of recession from Covid, many are Asian. Polling also shows that PhDs are far more liberal. Only 10% call themselves conservative. Education is an interesting topic. I think it should be free. We spent decades giving money to rich people using the euphemism tax cut. It would be far better investing in the next generation. Who knows, maybe more Americans wouldn't be morons who think the VP can undo an election.
