In this brief commentary, Kevin Lynn, Executive Director of the Institute for Sound Public Policy and Founder of U.S. Tech Workers, challenges economist Jeffrey Sachs' perspectives on America's economic divide. Lynn argues that contrary to Sachs' view that education access and "upskilling" are the primary barriers for American workers, the real issue is displacement of qualified American tech professionals through visa programs like H-1B, L-1, and STEM OPT. Drawing on both statistical evidence and first-hand accounts from displaced workers, Lynn makes the case that these programs artificially suppress wages and create barriers for American STEM professionals despite their qualifications.

H-1B Visas and American Tech Workers: A Response to Jeffrey Sachs

YouTube Video VVVLVVJLSTltaU43NGxiOFVtTXhTdGNBLllTdEt2bU0yM1k4

In this electrifying discussion between host Kevin Lynn and geopolitical analyst Tom Luongo, the conversation unveils how the first 100 days of Trump's new administration has fundamentally reshaped global economic dynamics. Luongo passionately explains how Trump is dismantling decades of financial colonialism by ripping "the bandaid off global trade imbalances" that have existed since the 1950s.

With remarkable candor, he describes how the shift to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) has finally given America control over its own cost of capital after generations of external manipulation.

The podcast captures a pivotal moment in economic history as Trump prepares to negotiate with China, isolate the European Union, and potentially end the Ukraine conflict—all while establishing the foundation for domestic tax cuts. According to Luongo, these bold moves have triggered desperate responses from globalist powers who see their long-standing financial dominance slipping away, making this period one of the most consequential geopolitical inflection points in modern history.

Kevin Lynn, Executive Director of The Institute for Sound Public Policy and founder of U.S. Tech Workers, discusses bulletin board notices about refugee resettlement during a walk through Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Lynn critiques various flyers supporting refugees, challenging claims about refugee benefits, resettlement statistics, and the role of non-governmental organizations. He argues that the Biden administration expanded refugee definitions inappropriately, supports President Trump's funding cuts to resettlement programs, and suggests that student activists don't understand the economic and social consequences of refugee policies.

Have you ever wondered how the U.S. companies went from playing a dominant role in the development and manufacture of semiconductors to lagging behind Asian companies like TSCM and NVIDIA? Brian Dan-Ding answers that question well as makes a few suggestions for industrial policy that can restore America's leadership role.

Brian Dan-Ding, Research Analyst at the Institute for Sound Public Policy delivers the presentation on our much anticipated report on labor practices of the semiconductor industry.

Brian's research focuses on the U.S. STEM workforce, high-skilled employment, and guest workers. He earned his bachelor’s degree in public policy and history from Rutgers University-New Brunswick in 2023. He continues to collaborate on these issues with Rutgers University Public Policy Professor and mentor Hal Salzman. This policy report is adapted on behalf of the Institute for Sound Public Policy from the honors thesis research Brian conducted while at Rutgers.

The worst thing about migration is that politicians see it as a quick & easy fix to difficult problems re. birth rates, productivity, growth, etc.
Eg, here's a former Brit PM saying they tried to drown inflation with cheap migrants (who inflated housing costs!).

FHA loans were designed to expand American homeownership, not extend taxpayer-backed credit to those with no guaranteed right to remain. It’s amazing this was even a policy.

This man represents the King.

This is the best data point yet that @EMBurlingame is right, that the King accepted Trump's terms of surrender, but is trapped and that Trump is moving to restore the Monarchy.

Let's watch this play out.
