Glad to see the tech industry leaders taking a stand on these immigration issues. Sam Altman and Travis are being very public but I'm sure many are working the system behind the scenes and there will be more public results in the future. The fight has just begun. It's just a matter of time now till they to tear apart net neutrality. Trump might just be the wake up call the nation needed to wake up and stop being so complacent.

"Trump might just be the wake up call the nation needed to wake up and stop being so complacent." I'll bet that at least 50% of Americans support the premise of a 'temporary ban on entry of people from areas of open conflict or that are governed by jihadi entities'. Point being - there are many Americans who believe that Trump is the 'wake up call'. I think there is a lot of danger from people living inside social bubbles making assumptions about what the 'proverbial we' should or are thinking about what is right or wrong. By the way - I think this exec order is a political gesture. After 90 days, everyone who was to come to the US, will end up coming. I believe that most entrants are fairly well vetted already, and that things will get back to normal pretty quickly, with some minor adjustments so that Trump can claim his order was needed and warranted.

  At least 50% of anybody will answer anyway you like to a loaded question.
