A troublesome alternative, however I’ll be cheering for an asteroid.

Yes, mass-H1Bs suck, however our schooling system is so crappy that we will’t even homegrow STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) expertise anymore.
Paging POTUS: The federal gov offers the UCs $50 billion+ in annual funding. Until standardized testing and percentile-based grading are necessary, cut off this money. All of it. My tax {dollars} needs to be reserved for groundbreaking analysis, not remedial algebra for bums.
