HOW A TRUMP ADMINISTRATION COULD TERRORIZE SILICON VALLEY

[johen]

Trump has already picked fights with Jeff Bezos and Tim Cook. Could Mark Zuckerberg be next?

The incoming Trump administration stands to change all of this. Earlier this year, Trump called for a boycott against Apple for resisting a F.B.I. order to unlock an iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters. “Boycott Apple until such time as they give that information,” Trump declared at the time. “It just occurred to me.” Ever an anti-globalist, Trump has called repeatedly for the tech giant to stop manufacturing their products overseas, and to relocate all manufacturing to the United States—a logistical feat that would be virtually impossible to execute. Trump has also taken particular aim at Amazon C.E.O. and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos, whose paper has repeatedly criticized him and launched numerous investigations into his personal life, business practices, and family charity. “He thinks I’ll go after him for anti-trust,” Trump said in May. “Because he's got a huge anti-trust problem because he’s controlling so much. Amazon is controlling so much of what they are doing. . . . He’s using The Washington Post, which is peanuts. He’s using that for political purposes to save Amazon in terms of taxes and in terms of anti-trust.”

Trump’s positions on immigration could also be deeply disruptive for the tech industry, which thrives on the availability of foreign computer programmers, who are in short supply. Earlier this year, dozens of tech leaders, including Mark Zuckerberg, Reid Hoffman, Ron Conway, and Max Levchin, signed onto a brief submitted to the Supreme Court in favor of Obama’s executive actions, arguing that allowing the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the country to contribute to the U.S. economy would benefit the country and tech industry. Yet Trump has stated his opposition to the H-1B non-immigrant visas that would allow highly skilled immigrants to pursue careers at tech companies.

Silicon Valley CEO's and High-Tech Business Owners may well get "terrorized" by the things mentioned here, but the general economic landscape of the area will probably continue to thrive. Decades Ago, the country should've established a strategy for apprenticing, or grooming, its native born population to benefit from these kind of Silicon Valley jobs; instead, they went with the idea of importing immigrant populations to fill them, at the expense of Americans who were raised by the tradition of the constitution and heritage of the people.

As for myself, my birthplace is San Francisco, California, and the U.S. Census Bureau classifies me as a White American. I am a San Francisco Bay Area Landlord and Real Estate Investor. The real estate market in the bay area is profoundly different from much of the rest of the country. For example: Last Summer, a 2 bedroom Berkeley House was listed at $800,000 but sold on the first day, with 12 offers. My sister and I wrote up an offer, at $1,100,000 but it sold for $1,450,000 ($650,000 more than the asking price). My friend, in Florida, lives in an affluent middle class neighborhood near Tampa, his house is worth about $350,000 -- less than the $650,000 difference between the asking and selling price of that Berkeley house.

I can only hope they do.

Actually, silicon valley innovation comes from multi culture, where the ideas spring up. Moreover, even if foreign worker're getting high income over 110,000 dollars, their real earnings are below countryside people, who earn 60,000 or 70,000 dollars. I think the real beneficiaries of silicon valley are local peoples like you. I am always thinking that they were just excellent engine or batteries of the car, who are owned by the US people with their family.
To compete with other country, the US company need global engine and batteries.

Silicon Valley is the crown jewel. Only a mad man would be able to threaten the main source of wealth in the US. Jobs are obteined for capacity in Silicon Valley, nationality should be irrelevant. That's exactly the reason for its sucess. Limiting access to talented people from other countries will lead to a long-term empoverishment.

Holy shit you are fucking retarded atabro. Silicon valley gives nothing to the US shit for brains. They hire 90% foreigners, don't pay any tax, and produce 100% of all physical goods overseas. Now shut your stupid hole once and for all.
