I don't see any claims of "government subsidization" or "special privileges". I think this kind of visa would allow people to move to the US to start a company, on equal footing with "equally hard-working, economy-growing, business-founding citizens".
- teacup50 13y agoIt's right there in the article. He's requesting that the government grant to YC: 1) An allotment of visas. 2) Control over the allocation of those visas ... possibly to be extended to other venture capital firms (nobody else, of course, and certainly nobody self-funding a company with capital equivalent to that which YC provides). He's happy for YC to be the only beta tester for now, though.
- ahomescu1 13y agoHow does this give special privileges to the recipients of those visas?
- namenotrequired 13y agoNo, they're saying it gives special privilege to YC.
