Let's see how having a no sports culture is doing for India. There were 89 countries in the Paris Olympics who won medals. India had the fewest medals per capita of all those 89 countries. They only managed to win 6 medals (and not even one gold medal) with a population of over a billion people. That is one measly medal for every 234,000,000 people. The United States won 126 medals which is one or every 2,600,0000. In the 2020 Tokyo Olympics India won 1 medal.
Why don't Musk and Ramaswamy understand people want well rounded citizens who aren't specializing in high school and are taking AP English and APUSH in addition to STEM classes and playing sports. So it takes then a year or two more to catch up with someone from another country who don't value being well rounded.
Which engineer would you rather hire? Someone who has school spirit like Daniel from Cal Berkeley who is a sophomore civil engineering student who shows up at 11:40 at night to attend an ESPN Game Day show at Cal before a football game, and who can then kick a field goal and win 100,000 for himself and $100,000 for hurricane victims OR someone who has no idea what football is even about and never goes to a college football game because they are a recluse in their dorms?

They’d hire the better engineer. Nobody gives a add crap whether an employee is “well rounded” or played high school football.

This program was abused long time ago, Trump put a lid on it limiting visas in 2016. This isn’t new. I suppose we will have to see if the program is revived and revised in a more beneficial way and to create more jobs not to replace labor we have.
This will determine the cities of our stem education as kids will simply forgo these careers altogether if they don’t pay more than jobs with easier majors. Brain drain will be real and here in the US, not in the countries bleeding their workers. I worked in the field for 25 years and hate it, my kids are discouraged from it already based on my experience.

And with this gotcha attitude Everytime something happens in the MAGA world we haven't learned any lessons and we will lose again in 2 years and probably in 4 years.
This isn't about Democrats. It's about voters who voted for Republicans expecting what Republicans promised them only to get completely screwed over by those very same Republicans. But that said, by making it about Democrats when it was their own actions, it only keeps exposing the insanity of those who vote Republican.

Indians and Chinese are far brighter than Americans anyway. No biggie; they can stay home and outpace the US from there.

That's approximately their top 1%. It cripples the country.
Look what happened to Florida.
It doesn’t cripple anything. What a ridiculous comment. Are you even Indian? Many bright Indian students return to India after working for a few years in the US and get fantastic pay packages or they start companies. And many more choose jobs at home right off the bat.

US has massive opportunities for best and brightest. That's why the wealthiest people in most of the world flood here for education.
Your solution to lack of education is to educate FEWER people?
How about lowering tuition to Indian levels? IIT coats less for 4 years than a US University for 1 year
How many people get into IIT though? The vast majority of Indian students who aspire to engineering degrees pay through the nose for private colleges in India if they can’t make it go IIT/NIT or afford to go abroad.

My neighbor's "Deplorable.. and proud of it!" bumper sticker is getting ratty. Should I gift him a new "Contemptible Fool" bumper sticker to honor President Musk?

This is not the goal. The goal is to suppress wages. Cheaper labor = more profits. That’s all these billionaires care about. And from a pure business standpoint I don’t blame them. But dumb Americans don’t realize they are the problem. So this is what we get!

It doesn’t matter what we do to try to make Americans the best and brightest. People like Elon Musk will still want to import foreign workers because they are willing to work for less just so they can be in the US. Look at the poster right after you. Elon has gone ahead and said this out loud, in case anyone had doubts or n what this is really about.
