This is hard to keep saying: almost everything we think about STEM is wrong.

A) We the US are GREAT at science.

B) Workers are mislabeled as students/trainees.

C) We underfund research.

D) China sends workers valued by Unis as they not as free or expensive as our own people.
Think of it as “Intellectual Munchausen By Proxy” where the leadership of STEM at @NSF and @theNASciences have historically made up stories about how their own children (US STEM) are too sickly/greedy/unruly to do research. But our pliant temp visa holders are obedient wiz-kids.
The US STEM complex is induced to murder careers of our own people because we are not trained to be obedient workers. We use freedom & irreverence based education. Our edge is our middle finger and US STEM folks rightly demand market level US salaries to power our market economy.
So here’s our choice.

Either:

A) Stop whining and pay US STEM costs for some of the best and most irreverent mavericks in the world.

B) Shut down the programs that can’t compete.

C) Prepare to have PRC work its way into every corner of US R&D by supplying our workforce.
