Look, Schmidt is just another Obama-tomaton. We can clearly see that here: "Schmidt was a campaign advisor and major donor to Barack Obama and served on Google’s government relations team."[0] It's purdy darn clear that Schmidtty was going to be more useful outside of the government, safe inside of Google's bunkers.
Whatever Schmidty might say to the public, he's sitting on his nice little nest egg in the event that TSHTF[1]. He has an escape plan and possibly a security detail and a private jet to get the hell out. Probably has a few panic rooms built into that $22 million home of his[2].
>"His new home in Holmby Hills, an exclusive enclave that is one of three neighborhoods forming Los Angeles’ Platinum Triangle"[2]
'Enclave'? More like burbclave.
But let's stop beating up the scarecrow and look at his points directly:
>First, support startups. “When you look at the solutions to the problems that you’re describing, which ultimately lead to severe joblessness, they all involve creating fast-growth startups.”
Now, it don't matter if your startup is makin' moonshine and running from the Fed[3] to hacking a new way to disrupt the sectors of integrated customer service experiences, it's obvious that startups are focused on Silicon Valley right now -- where the money is. Maybe we oughtta spread those startups out a little bit?
>Second is “more education, more information, more connectivity.” He and President Obama have both pushed for more education in science, technology, engineering, and math to help fill unmet demand for tech jobs.
Yeah, but the damn problem is that your jobs ask for 99 languages with a decade of experience in each of 'em on top of a computer science degree. All of that time and all of that money for an entry-level position at a startup that can't pay a penny to keep a train from derailing. But guess what? You can make your own workers and get in on the college business, and brother, business is a-boomin'. So how 'bout we get Google there to make their own college and maybe take a shot at these ridiculous tuition costs?
Back on jobs, next to nothin' you got H1-B applicants out the ass takin' our jobs. But hey, there's a market opportunity to bypass those damn regulations[4] Look at that guy. He's wearing a suit and you can always trust a man in a suit.
>Finally, there are upper limits to the number of people who can hold advanced STEM jobs. Those who lose out will need government assistance. Schmidt argued that society needs a “safety net” for those who lose their jobs so they can “at least live somewhere and have healthcare.”
Last thing we need is a bunch of leeches on society ruining our labor motivation. People won't use that as a safety net, especially when Big Google is out to automate everything in the name of 'progress'. I don't care if I'm contradicting myself, damn it, I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore. As a red-blooded American, I don't want to be told I American't.
So you see, it's simple -- we kill the Silicon Valley.
