I was really glad this article didn't focus on how we need to allow more immigration. I think immigration is good, and helpful for our economy, but it isn't the primary driving factor for making us an innovative nation.

We should look at what in our nation is different from less innovative nations, and work to protect or extend those differences.

As long as there is rewards to innovation there will be innovation. The coming shift left makes me nervous.

I think the reward will still be there.
