The fruits of the economy and all the advantages of technology and globalization have gone far more to the investor class and the professional class and not as much to the working class. Partly because of the loss of labor unions, partly because of things like a lack of antitrust enforcement, policies that have privileged shareholder returns.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
While Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is a brutal dictator and should be tried at the Hague for international war crimes, the United States should not militarily overthrow him.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
I grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and have spent a lot of time in the Midwest.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
Net neutrality rules ensure an equal playing field on the web for everyone, from the start-up to the tech giant.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
Cultivating a thoughtful citizenry is a project for educators, parents, and religious and community leaders as much as tech leaders.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
Although the most advanced software innovation may take place in big cities with research universities, there is a lot of work concerning the application of software to business processes and the administration and maintenance of software systems that can be done remotely.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
My view is that we shouldn't be supplying the Saudis with arms while they're bombing civilians in Yemen and, by the way, while they're arming al-Qaida and it's fighting our own counterterrorist operations in Yemen.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
I don't believe we would've had nearly as diverse a Congress if it weren't for social media. I don't think that there would be the same appreciation or empathy for human rights across the world if it weren't for social media.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
We need a basic protection for people having access to their data and knowing where their data is.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
America has been a force for much good in the world. But we should learn from the mistakes of an over-expansionist foreign policy and return to the restraint that George Washington and John Quincy Adams advocated.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
I will oppose a Muslim registry with every fiber of my being. That is not the American way of conducting affairs and violates every principle we stand for.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
Technology is amoral, but it requires humanistic values to steer it in a way that's empowering, and not detrimental to social progress. It's up to us to maximize the good and minimize the bad.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
This idea you're going to take a 50-year-old coal miner and turn them into a software engineer is ridiculous.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
I mean, I don't think the Facebook merger with WhatsApp and Instagram should have been approved. But I'm not for reflexively breaking up tech companies.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
All Americans must have access to the Internet in today's digital world, and the market needs competition to drive affordable prices.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
I think that when you look at our founding principles, it was based on America as a nation committed to universal human rights and a nation that was weary of foreign entanglements and foreign alliances that did not keep us safe or promote our interests.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
My grandfather, or Nana Ji, as we called him, was a family legend. Amarnath Vidyalankar spent his life fighting for India's independence, which included spending four years in prison in Mahatma Gandhi's movement. I still remember the conversations we had together, many of them while playing chess.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
I don't think anyone would object to Facebook selling ads or having ads directed at me, as long as people didn't think those ads were manipulated by personal data.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
Of course, America's free-enterprise system is what enables our manufacturers to be the most innovative.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
Silicon Valley needs partners. You can't do edited manufacturing just in the Valley. Why not have the DNA of manufacturing but combine it with the digital world?
Quote by -Ro Khanna
We must make it clear that we won't interfere in other countries' elections and work to make that the clear international norm.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
Silicon Valley is actually a prime target for an ICBM missile strike. It occurred to me as I has touring Apple Park that if I was concerned about Americans' safety and the symbol of America's future I would think that those is Silicon Valley as the most vulnerable. That's where you would be attacking the future economy.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
I want to help bring tech jobs to middle America and help us create more innovation clusters.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
What makes the Amazon-Whole Foods deal so problematic is that they are going into an industry with large infrastructure, brick-and-mortar cost, and seeking to build consolidation where we already suffer from consolidation. It's not like Walmarts and Targets have been good for wages or local grocery stores or niche producers.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
Our family's values come from my grandfather's embrace of a Gandhian worldview.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
Gandhi reminded those who followed his faith that perhaps its most important aspect was its commitment to oneness.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
An Internet service provider reasonably needs to know your name and address. But it's hard to imagine why a provider would need to collect your Internet browsing habits other than to sell your data.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
I think automation will eliminate certain types of jobs - lower income, lower-skilled jobs in manufacturing. But nobody knows whether it's going to change the job basket of the 21st century, or be net positive, or net negative.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
We've been living with this myth that somehow government investment in research has not been critical to economic growth.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
One key question for the United States in the 21st century is whether noncoastal towns and rural communities, including many communities of color, will be able to participate in the digital revolution.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
The Internet and virtual reality make it easier for people to stay rooted in their communities and work for companies headquartered elsewhere. The Internet has also created countless small businesses, triggering the creation of hundreds of thousands of new jobs.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
The digital revolution is one that every community should and can participate in.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
Our troops shouldn't be mired in taking land for the Afghan military, providing force protection and fighting a permanent insurgency.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
Let us focus on developing our capabilities and talents here at home to be a model for the world.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
More than stock prices or product launches, Silicon Valley's legacy will be defined by whether tech leaders step up to contribute to the larger American experiment.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
The 21st-century mix of jobs is probably going to be different than the 20th-century mix.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
My travels around the country have led me to believe that many communities want this diversity of opportunity. They're proud of the traditional industries, whether it's coal or steel, or of course doing military service, but they want their kids to have opportunities beyond that.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
I'm obviously in favor of a carbon tax. And I think climate change is one of the biggest threats to our planet.
Quote by -Ro Khanna
As a lawyer, I can assure you that a lot of document drafting is repetitive, involving cutting and pasting from templates. But the best lawyers bring a unique perspective to the process and anticipate clients' problems.
