NEW: America's high-skilled immigration system is a broken, bureaucratic mess. Tweaking H-1B isn't enough. It's time to finally enact the exceptional system our country deserves. My new paper with @ModeledBehavior and @cojobrien shows how to get it done.

Uh, oh. Looks like someone needs to read The American Worker Project
This is an absurd thing to post. This environment is the worst in decades and maybe ever in America to build wealth through any normal career. It’s the worst work environment and worst prospects for wealth accumulation ever. For a young person it’s next to impossible in fact even with the best degrees and “elite” job. It’s absurd and a joke to see conservative pundits, who work as writers and commentators in media and aren’t frankly exemplars of Protestant capitalist enterprise recommend working at Chipotle and UPS for a few smart young right wing men who are deploring decades-long trends. Maybe you’ll care to also give them advice on manning up and marrying a local sweet gril/highschool sweetheart.
