Steve Jobs to Obama: “You’re headed for a one-term presidency”

Shouldn't have asked for Steve's opinion if you didn't really want it.

An 11 month school year would be a nightmare and screw up summer activities. Plus, the misalignment of HS and College schedules will hurt advanced students. School going to 6pm in the northland is a non-starter and dangerous.

(getting a little sick of the down votes without comment)

>keep schools open until 6

Sounds great, how do you fund it?

>keep school in session 11 months out of the year

Ditto.

>let principals hire/fire based on merit

Seems legit, do we really have to BREAK the unions to do that? The teacher unions have many legitimate reasons for their existence regardless of some of their negative attributes.

>relax regulations on building factories

Is that really what's holding manufacturing back here? It's not the cost of labor and providing benefits to workers? I can see how the additional costs of creating factories here might make it slightly harder to manufacture things in the U.S., but I find it highly dubious that Apple would suddenly start manufacturing its machines here even if all zoning/health/environmental laws were scrapped.

>turning Jobs down on making campaign ads

Crazy. Seriously. David Axelrod is a schmuck.

"Conservative" or just gets shit done? Maybe the real reason why we don't get shit done in this country is because we're so preoccupied with these worn-out ideologies. What if Jobs was right? What if it's too damn hard to build factories in America?
