Clinton’s Tech Policy Targets Young Entrepreneurs
- therobot24 10y agoIt's linked in the article, but i'll also link the summary document via the HRC website here: https://www.hillaryclinton.com/briefing/factsheets/2016/06/28/hillary-clintons-initiative-on-technology-innovation-2/ https://www.hillaryclinton.com/briefing/factsheets/2016/06/2... Take a second to read through some of it. At first glance it sounds good, but there really isn't a lot of meat there (for those lawyering, there is definitely substance but most of the release is just jargon). Here is what i consider the real actionable items (rather than saying blanket statements that sound good on a podium): >> give innovators who start social enterprises or new businesses in distressed communities the opportunity to apply for forgiveness of up to $17,500 of their student loans after 5 years >> would “staple” a green card to STEM masters and PhDs from accredited institutions, and support visas that allow top entrepreneurs from abroad to come to the U.S. >> will grow the research and development budgets of entities like the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and DARPA >> create a competitive grant program to give cities, regions, and states incentives to create a “model digital community” >> strongly supports the FCC decision under the Obama Administration to adopt strong network neutrality rules. Note, I only skimmed the full fact sheet, so there may be more that i missed.
