University of California, Berkeley – Changemaker of the planet, creating and discovering the 3-dimensional transistor, nuclear energy, nMRI, neural plasticity, free speech, integrated circuits, the biotech industry, MEMS, autonomous driving, radioactive carbon dating, CRISPR, lithium ion chemistry, RISC computing, quantum dots, the LASER, etc.
California is the cultural and technology innovation center of the world. If you using ChatGPT, drive a Tesla or Lucid EV, use PowerPoint, search the web using your Apple computer, an Intel-based computer, buy products on ebay, using a computer or phone screen (quantum dots), store data using DataBricks, integrated circuits, use lithium-ion batteries, use PCR for genetic analysis, RISC computer chips, use an Intel processor, WYSIWYG software editing or Oracle software, you’re using technology created, or partially created, at UC Berkeley or by UC Berkeley grads. Further, the internet we all use was spearheaded by UCLA. And if you’re using Google, you’re using a product developed by Stanford and Berkeley grads, and all of these technologies were developed with government funding and support. Using fiberoptics and satellite links? They are dependent on technology developed at Caltech by a Caltech grad. So is VLSI. Caltech alum Dr. William Shockley, Ph.D. co-invented the transistor. California’s support of education and R&D is key to the success of the state and its people.
Los Angeles, California – The aerospace and creative arts capital of the world.
If Trump wants to understand how to build an economy, look no further than California, the 4th largest economy on the planet with it’s 6% growth rate. We neither open coal mines in CA, nor new oil wells. Instead, we have a coherent state industrial policy that targets certain key industries, such as the high margin computer science and tech field, we support the world’s best university system to educate our people and drive research and development that leads to California being the innovation hub of the world. The University of California system, led by UC Berkeley with the second highest number of associated Nobel Laureates in the world and producing the highest number of tech founders, constantly produces new businesses and even new industries, such as the biotech industry. Further, we implement laws and regulations that drive business growth, particularly in high tech industries of the future, such as solar, battery, EV, computer, and aerospace.
San Francisco, California – The technology hub of the world.
California, unlike Texas and Florida, sends more money to the federal treasury than what it receives. California, in 2023, sent $83 billion more to the US Treasury than it received. Texas and Florida feed off the enterprise here in California, and squander the money that California gives them. TX drills more holes in the ground and pollutes the world, while Florida drives an antediluvian set of policies that renders the state a backward place of those in heaven’s waiting room.
San Diego, California – One of the world’s great communications and biotech hubs anchored by UCSD, a top 20 global university.
Mr. Trump, awake from your lizard brain, backward approach to policy making for the USA – join us in California to celebrate the now and the future.
