Remember when President Obama gave us the blueprint for competing with China

America lost it's fukkin mind after having a competent black man lead the free world successfully. Everything after has been because white people couldn't cope with the thought their skin color doesn't give them superpowers and they are no better than everyone else. How insane is that.
This.

What’s the lie? Did the Dems not start focusing on pronouns? Did Dems not advocate for h1 b visas? I’m sure you’ve seen the clips of how Dems messaging has changed throughout the years. Dems used to be pretty tough on certain subjects. Please enlighten us
The lie is in your framing, you disingenuous piece of shyt. The cuts to education, the gutting of funding for research and technology, and the destruction of workers rights are all being spearheaded by the GOP. Who's trying to destroy the Department of Education, push a profit-first K-12 system, and has worked for decades to undermine public education? Who's dismantling the federal grant system that keeps research in technology, biomedical advancements, and more functioning? Who's destroying the Department of Labor and the NLRB? You claim Obama is speaking facts, then ignore who those facts are about just so you can deflect with your tired-ass "both sides" bullshyt.

all true.


we also let them flood our universities and take the knowledge back to their country which was willing to use it :wow:
its worth noting that this isnt exactly how academia works.

By the very nature of STEM research , you need to collaborate with people around the world. And your discoveries must be defended against rival insitutions and countries that seek to replicate that data. This public defence is how academia can avoid frauds like theranos that occur in the less open bussinesss arena. BUt this openness is also a way to bounce ideas off of colleagues to build new research.. But in order to achieve this academic rigour, all American university research is openly published and available in STEM journals. For example my Grad school alma mater had DOD darpa contracts and you could basically look up all our research by just buying a subscription to an academic journal or online agragator like JStor

Now i do understand the need for discretion in sensitive research, but that is why the defence and intelegence agencies have in house scientists and engineers. Just like there are public journals , there are also internal govt journals that are classified. The securty for these is much tighter requiring top secret clearance and direct DOD employement. This is stark contrast to the stuff foreign students have freely available at public research at universities.

And this is just the high tech stuff. As for the basic education, that is also freely available. For example, undergrad and masters coursewrk and sylibi form Stanford, MIT , and Harvard is also freely available. So are most of the lectures. So the foreign students wouldnt be gaining anything in particular by taking undergrad coursework in STEM fields.

In most cases those foreignstudents are just a cash cow. With no actual risk to the universities because of the need for openness in academic research. There is no super secret information that these students would ever get.

You piece of shyt! Where did I lie you fakkit?

What Obama said in that video sounded good you piece of shyt.

Why can’t your fakkit ass just admit that the party isn’t perfect? You a dem shill first. I’m blk first, fakkit. You go around policing folks all day everyday. You are fukkin miserable! You don’t even post anything positive about blk ppl. No black celebrations it’s all about tap dancing for democrats.

Obama's message was this: To stay competitive with China, the US can't afford to cut funding for education, R&D, or tech. Boosting military spending and cutting taxes for corporations doesn't help either, nor does rewarding companies that offshore jobs - all those things hurt workers, as well as weaken labor rights and undermine domestic job growth. If you had said something about how Democrats don't do enough - or anything - to address our bloated defense budget or tax corporations and billionaires enough, then you would have had a point. And I would have agreed with you.

Instead, you tried to deflect the conversation to pronouns and H1B visas for no real reason other than to mislead people. The reality is that they have not dropped support for education, labor rights, or R&D. These are all ongoing priorities that you're trying to obscure to avoid addressing what's actually being said in a meaningful way.

And no reasonable person believes anything is perfect, because nothing is perfect (well, maybe a quiet snowy night). I have plenty of criticisms for the Democrats, and I don't shy away form posting them. Your problem is that they're not framed in an ignorant and uniformed way.

And I don't have to engage in these little performative acts to convince people I'm Black.

china puts funding behind it that we don't though and structure. it's not all stem. they are planning the advancement of their state out it's not all about new discovery., we sell it to the highest bidder. if they do find something novel over there even if it was discovered here, it's not treated the same way. it goes to their goal, here it's about making someone money.


and it's about to get a lot worse.

Let’s not cap like Obama was an angel. Stop it breh. Breh played a major role in the Arab spring, killed gahdaffi and now they enslaving blk Africans.
Focus. It might be hard for smooth brains. The topic is China. Quit trying to impress us with your inability to compartmentalize.
