"Folks claimed that Krishnan wants to rip the cap off H1-B visas. Sacks doesn’t seem to think that that is the case, but I wonder if it wouldn’t the smartest thing we could do as a nation."
I have a problem with this statement. Education in the USA is at best uneven and ultimately very expensive. Corporation pay less and less taxes and less money goes toward educating the population. Plentiful H1-B visas makes it too easy for US corporations to ignore this issue and simply import knowledge workers that were educated for free abroad. If Americans had access to good and reasonably priced education, I would not have an issue importing additional workers to complement our work force when needed. But right now, that's not what's going on.
David Sacks should absolutely be hammered in the public sphere for legitimizing Laura Loomer. Aside from his bumbling idiot trope of “gawsh I didn’t think MAGA was racist!!1!” he’s basically platforming her odious takes.
He’s either a fool, an unwitting victim, or a borderline white nationalist, none of which make for either a wise investor or a Presidential advisor.

This is a very reasonable critique, and one that I will think on.
How about this to not sugarcoat things:
