'The institutions don’t need to a follow the usual four-year undergraduate degree model. That’s slow, outdated, expensive, and mostly pointless. Just teach the kids the skills they need, as fast as they can learn them, to get them up to the level where they can be minimally useful.'
At one time, *industry* sponsored and paid for 'industrial schools' where workers could be trained to be useful to the industries that sponsored these schools.
This system aligned incentives in the right way versus just dolling out a billion dollars of free service to industries that clearly have no allegiance to the country and people giving them freebies.
American industry at the level Musk is playing at needs to have *zero* access to outside labor resources. None.
And tax monies (debt) should not be used to pay to create assets that industry will then exploit for their own profit.
Industry will complain that this will slow them down (that seems to be Musk's position), but it's their own fault that they took the easy way out. There was never anything preventing them from setting up industrial schools for the purpose of *investing* in a workforce that *they* needed.
Why should *everyone* take on debt so that industry can avoid investing in a national workforce of native people?
I'm tired of pandering to capitalists. If their idea of 'efficiency' is to game the immigration system, break the immigration system to the point it cannot be gamed.
I think Musk’s actual position literally is that he wants to be able to bring in genuinely top people. He's also been pretty clear that the present system is abusive of American workers and needs reform.
That of course is certainly not true of the majority of tech executives, who have been abusing this system for decades.
It's not as if companies put the slighest effort into finding and recruiting top talent, let alone compete for it. Even when top talent applies, they have no ability to recognize it. Even when they have top talent working for them, they don't recognize, promote, compensate or even give it freedom to do good work.They are no smarter than their keyword-matching resume filters. It goes deeper than that - they hate their betters with demonic malice, they want only single-function cogs for their machinery of Ahrimanic evil.
Don't accept their frame that it is lack of skills, training, or credentials that prevents them from hiring top people. The don't hire the best because they're unworthy of their power, positions and property, they hate truth, they hate virtue, they hate goodness itself. They're EVIL; it is wrong to work for their ends.

Shout it from the rooftops! Yes - bring back vocational training as a real option, in all fields! Uni will always be there if and when someone feels the need to go cram their heads full of theoretical stuff.

We have the worst of both worlds.
Anyone walking or wading over the southern U.S. border is welcomed.
And we “need” Infinity Indians via H1B.
Yet somehow it’s an ordeal to get a skilled engineer from Europe, or even a guest visa for an African friend.
Madness.
To add insult to injury, I’ve had occasion to visit Canada recently. Your Canadian border staff are friendly, polite and efficient on the way in.
Their American counterparts are surly and suspicious to me *returning to my own homeland*.
Yes, it's called Anarcho-Tyranny.
