I think, Robert, you've got to run faster.
I think you've got to up the speed on the new task creation.
You've got to take, you've got to figure out what made Demis Asaba successful and how do we get 10 more of them?
You've got to up the spending on science and make it easy to commercialize
innovations coming out of universities, turn that into companies that want to stay in the UK.
The fact the Americans are backing off scientific investment is a big opportunity for the UK.
The fact the US is becoming a very difficult place for talented foreign technical people to come and get degrees, big opportunity for the UK.
You've got to play the game.
The game is a global game.
You've got labor force of about 40 million in a world of 8 billion going to 10 billion.
What are you going to be selling to the world?
How do you get those productivity gains?
not just keep the good jobs you have, Robert, create a lot more good jobs.
That's my perspective on this.
Well, that's a great question.
And I don't know you necessarily have to keep it all.
I think bringing it back would also be a good goal.
Having a rotation of people around the world, that's actually served a lot of countries very well.
And there's many people in the US who would like to look at other places to live.
And you've got some fantastic combinations of circumstances in the UK.
