This American educational competitiveness issus has multiple angles:

1) Social media has distorted our perceptions. The emphasis is now all on the outliers as anyone can post them and we think of them as displaying a new normal. We've always had lazy basket weaving majors from No Name U but now we hear about them every day. My extended family is chock full of liberals yet I don't know of one of them distraught enough over Trumps's victory that they couldn't go to work or school the next day. This is not to say there aren't some disturbing trends.

2) Comparing Indian immigrants to the average American is not all that useful. Indian (and Chinese) immigrants are, by and large, la creme de la creme from those countries. If education in India was so advanced then why is it still a third world country? The more important phenomenon is these people want to come to the USA and generally pick it over most any other destination (or even staying home).

3) Vivek Ramaswamy makes some good points, even if they are uncomfortable to some. However, his example of the Indian-decent CEO is not a particularly good one. If anything, it shows the inherent racism in that CEO's line of thinking. Though editing can distort some conclusions, we're left with the real possibility that CEO would hire a native of India over, say, someone from some other group even if that native of India is less qualified.

4) The USA's willingness to hand out money to most anyone to be educated in most anything has had two negative effects: it's made education more expensive and it fuels a culture of education as an end in itself instead of eduction as a higher end trade school from which to launch a career.

I’m sure you know I was having some fun with this stuff.

I left my company a couple weeks ago for a new gig, start 1/6. Probably have too much time on my hands right now!

Going from a company with a massive DEI program to one that doesn’t have one at all and can’t wait. My last company was based in Bellevue, WA, and spent way too much time/$ on that shit. New company is based out of Indianapolis and I am pretty excited to leave the woke nonsense behind.

Have I interviewed young people lately? Yes. I am an owner/CEO. My large company (by government standards) is a no drama zone. Unfortunately for the Indian CEO’s they will have to work through the American experience of having too many lawyers available for not enough work and get sued themselves.

For the last 4 years, MAGA has complained that the quest for diversity, equity, and inclusion has been prioritized over quality. Our math scores are plummeting, our service industry provides less quality service, our schools indoctrinate instead of educate, etc.

Trump was voted in to get rid of this prioritization, or so I thought. Apparently not.

You want another glaring example? Look at what has happened to American basketball and the NBA. There is zero doubt that the USA has the most basketball talent in the world. Unfortunately, our development sucks. The best talents in Europe are pushed into pro programs in their early to mid teens and train with pros, and pro coaches. No garbage AAU where the top talent plays against kids that don’t even make it to college basketball. No 20 hour weekly practice limits. No time wasted acting like they are going to class for a semester or longer. Just structured, intentional development. The top talents here in America don’t have a path like that, unless they go overseas. Pretty crazy, right? Mediocrity, when it comes to basketball player development.

American soccer is another example. Are you guys seeing it yet? Take off those angry red glasses and be curious for a second.

Have you interviewed any young people in recent years? I have, and I talk to HR people on a regular basis. We haven’t even mentioned some of the changes that people have seen in recent years. I’m going to make some generalizations here, but I’ve seen this play out, and have heard about it several times….

You know what foreign workers don’t ask in an interview?

- How many days a week do I have to come in the office? This is often the first question young people ask now.
- How many vacation days do I get in my first year?
- Can you tell me about your DEI program? Do you have any ERGs that I can join?

They are much more likely to ask….

- what type of work are you looking to execute and when can I start?

Foreign workers never ask you to use their pronouns (never listed on foreign resumes, often on young Americans’ resume) or ask for special accommodations. The ones that are here to improve their lives are thinking about when they can begin and how they can get to the next level.

HR departments and CEOs don’t want to hire people that are going to cause problems and make demands. Those things are much more likely to happen with an American kid coming from a broken system than they are a foreign worker that just wants to work. American workers are much more litigious too, and much more likely to go after a company for something minor (remember the obsession with microagressions? That’s mainly an American thing.)

Thinking Vivek is wrong is ignoring someone that has heard these conversations from CEOs, owners, etc.
