[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do some side volunteer work advising young entrepreneurs in a country abroad how to sell their products to the US market. One thing I start off with is one of the millions of memes out there about stupid Americans. There's no shortage of those, and they are true.

But then next slide I show them the US dominance in so many industries, Nobel prize winners, etc.

I do this to point out their competition in America won't be from the stupid people, it's from the smartest people, who are also creating companies offering a similar product to theirs. That's who they need to be afraid of.[/quote]

But consider many of our best co are started by immigrants and esp small business owners.  When I recruit and hire tech people, none are American.  It's Indian, Asian, Russian and of late Nigerian.  Americans apply to customer service jobs.  I admit most are also sales and marketing focused but just saying - business owners esp are not American. [/quote]

Yes, plenty of entrepreneurs and people in tech at not US-born. However, I think most of them consider themselves American and so do I. And their companies are definitely American.[/quote]
