Ask HN: Policy positions for tech industry?

1 pointsby mozumderabout 7 years ago
For this election cycle, what would be appropriate policy positions that would benefit the tech&#x2F;business community?<p>Is universal broadband something that would help startups? What about incorporation fee reduction? Public banking? Copyright limits? Solar&#x2F;Hydro&#x2F;Wind&#x2F;Nuclear? TPP and other trade agreements? Opening immigration?<p>Are all these generally supportive of technology industry economics?

Personally, I think one of the single biggest issues for new startups is availability and price and complexity of healthcare. If we had universal healthcare, a major concern, and inhibitor to startups and their families would be removed.<p>And honestly, given it&#x27;s outrageous cost in the US, I don&#x27;t know why established US Tech companies would want to carry that burden as an employee benefit either.
