Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Skilled Talent: An Economic Imperative

Skilled Talent: An Economic Imperative

I've always believed in the power of pragmatism, especially when it comes to national interests. So, when I hear statements like Donald Trump's recent defense of the need for skilled immigrants in the U.S., even as he anticipates "taking the heat" from his base, it resonates with a long-held perspective of mine. It's a stark reminder that economic reality often cuts through political rhetoric.

For years, I've reflected on the dynamics of employment, innovation, and the crucial role that talent plays in driving progress. My writings often touched upon the importance of "Jobs" and "Employment" and the rise of "Start Up" culture, which thrives on ingenuity and specialized skills Simplifying Search, Please Phone Me At 10 AM. The underlying current in these discussions was always the necessity of having the right expertise to build, create, and advance.

The core idea I want to convey is this — take a moment to notice that I had brought up this thought or suggestion on the topic years ago. While I wasn't directly addressing immigration policy, my focus on the value of specialized knowledge and its application, whether in a human workforce or through technological advancements like "Artificial Intelligence" (AI), speaks to the same principle Simplifying Search. I even delved into the creation of a "PERPETUAL AI MACHINE" through my "Blog Genie" project with Kishan (kishan@enjoyevervibe.com), emphasizing the systematic leveraging of self-generated digital content for continuous insight and output Blog Genie Revamp, FW-Blog Genie Tool. This is a meta-example of recognizing and utilizing valuable "skills"—in this case, digital expertise.

Now, seeing how a prominent figure like Donald Trump acknowledges the practical need for skilled individuals, despite potential political backlash, it's striking how relevant that earlier insight still is. Reflecting on it today, I feel a sense of validation regarding the enduring value of expertise in any thriving economy. The courage to prioritize national economic strength over immediate political comfort is a characteristic I admire, and it underscores the timeless truth that progress demands talent.

We cannot afford to ignore the global competition for skilled labor. Nations that attract and retain the brightest minds are the ones that will lead in innovation and economic prosperity. This isn't just about filling immediate labor gaps; it's about securing future growth, fostering new industries, and maintaining a competitive edge on the world stage. It's about building a robust foundation, much like I've always advocated for strategic planning and resource utilization in my various reflections.
