I agree. He's right that people need to try their best, but he's wrong about the prospects for our people actually succeeding. Good American engineers are designing things to be produced in China, not the USA, and it's entirely outside of the abilities of an individual entrepreneur to change that without governmental change. After the Chinese have gotten American expertise and technology, they don't need us, and won't be hiring Americans anymore when Chinese will do just as well, meanwhile Americans have been discriminated against by our own universities for decades. Of course no one's becoming an engineer or starting American companies. Why would they? Ambition and drive are necessary but not sufficient for success.
