For context, much of the research that led to microprocessor came from outside the US. In particular, the invention of silicon gates comes from Italy.

I don't think that there is much risk of foreign researchers moving to the US in the current climate.

The integrated circuit was invented in Texas and Silicon Valley, California.

And much of it is based on non-US research. That's not contradictory.

Yes, of course, but that is beside the point.

The American education system was not mass producing incompetent retards before the DoE was established in 1980.

How does this relate to my message? I'm not posting about DoE.

"Defund education"

Trump is abolishing the Department of Education, leaving it to the states.
