Palo Alto City Council Member Pushes for Separation of Money and State
... the separation of money and state; [in 1995] a tax holiday on e-commerce, allowing the industry to flourish... [capital gains holiday for crypto] where you sell your Bitcoin to USDC, or you go from USDC to Tether or Avalanche, or whatever it happens to be.

A one percent increase in the population of immigrant college graduates in the United States has been shown to increase patents per capita by 18 percent, and as such access to H1B, EB5, and O-1 visas should be expanded to increase the arrival of talent from abroad.
