Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates told a Senate committee today that cumbersome immigration restrictions are diminishing American competitiveness. Echoing a complaint that's often heard from Silicon Valley, the technology executive said that he feels "deep anxiety" over immigration policies that he argues drive off the world's best and brightest workers at a time when they are most needed by businesses.Get it?
This great American, who America and its freedoms allowed and enabled to become the country's richest person by letting get away with an essentially illegal monopoly, believes American students are dopes and without money-grubbing geeks from other countries, America isn't worth $#!t.
Hey, Bill: it's Windows that isn't worth $#!t, except to ignorant masses who don't know any better.
God help America if the nation's richest geek is the nation's smartest man. (Hint: He isn't, not by a long shot.)
If he was so smart, Windows would be at least as good as Mac OS X -- I mean ease of use and stability, and PC's wouldn't be commodity devices made out of cheap crap but, you know, things that would, like, work reliably and well and breakdown suddenly just because of its cheapness.
And by the way: M$ is the last &^%$ing company in this country that needs corporate welfare. $40+ billion isn't enough to get the allegedly best and brightest into America? Or for that matter, to establish satellite offices through the world -- oh, wait, they have them already.
