Hey Amerifucks, when are we going to have a technology oriented president?
Tech is the future, yet we keep electing reactionary presidents instead of progressive people who run on investing in developing the future of tech. Tech can solve so many problems we circle jerk around.
>wars over oil statists >big pharma lobbies statists >california drought Too many people in a desert. >nasa lacks funding statists >global warming statists >govt website doesn't work statists >abortion problems statists >computer programming not in common core statists.
But, user-kun, progressives are statists. All of these problems are caused by statists. How can being more statist cause problems caused by statists?

China is killing it. While we're in the U.S. banning genetic modified corn you guys have legalized research into genetically modifying humans.

This On top of that, the greatest period of innovation was the 19th century, when all science and technology was privately funded.
Jeremiah Ortiz
Tech oriented government does not have to mean it is government controlled, it simply means the government functions to promote technology advancement so it can progress at a faster speed.
That could be through policy that gives private sector more freedom, or government funding into things that the free market isn't displaying traction with.

GMOs must be looked at for harmful side effects, that is not unreasonable, but to condemn them entirely is to ingore the plenty of safe GMO goods being sold
people underestimate the power of technology, for good and bad. How do you think the feminist movement gain power? Technological gains in birth control helped that How do you think you even managed to reach your current age without dieing? The technological development of vaccines contributed tot hat aswell.
Technology itself will not run a nation, but a nation that wants to succeed must run on innovation and thus, technology

current progressive politicians are against strong encryption and secure communication, and against open-sourcing.
those are the two cutting edge needs of the tech industry. How can the tech industry evolve, when progressives, by their statist nature, will resist things that take power out of the hands of statists?
Jack Butler
Not all progressives are statists, unless you're using 'progressive' to describe a democrat. I completely agree with you that there needs to be more open sourcing and encryption.
Nathan Martinez
yes, not all progressives are statists.
however, all current progressive politicians are statists. A lot of current republican politicians are statists, and our pres-elect is a statist.
How will a government run by statists invest and reinforce technology advances that by their very nature decentralize the world and take power out of the hands of the statists?
I mean, they already can't handle the internet, how are they going to handle wide-spread, free, blueprints and software?
How will they handle secure communication by default for all of their citizens?

You do realize that Trump's two top advisors for Tech are
PETER THEIL & ELON MUSK... right???
Trump makes decisions based off what the best and brightest advise him would be best... if he doesnt not know enough about the subject himself. That's what all successful people do.
Kayden Turner
Haha yep, I voted for Trump because I thought he fit the bill the best, but he is ideal. I'm a big fan though.
Brandon King

>ELON MUSK Source?
Daniel Ward
Elon Musk is getting a bunch of subsidies from the US gouvernment. Trump probably wanted to hear from Musk himself why.
