Joe Biden should do one last unexpected thing—a grace note to his presidency. He should step down for health reasons and allow his VP to become president for the next two months. She would become the first woman to hold the office. Her official portrait would grace the wall.

Florida: “The new oligarchy in this country is horrific. You’re talking about a concentration of wealth we’ve never seen. It’s really irritating… the youngest coming out of the knowledge based communities feel it already… You can feel the backlash. #MPC23

“Keep your eye on the ball of affordability and diversity equity and inclusion.” Other cities have become unaffordable after pouring efforts into placemaking, says @Richard_Florida at #MPC23.

But too much of the crucial high-tech talent that the state produces in computer and science, software, and related fields ends up working elsewhere. And the state lags badly in attracting young tech talent from elsewhere. #MPC23

Michigan’s auto industry is already knowledge-intensive & becoming more so—a greater share of its workforce is employed in professional & creative occupations than factory work. The state's a leader in mobility innovation, accounting for 2/3 of R&D spending in the industry.#MPC23

For more than a century, Mich led the world in auto production. Now the industry is in the throes of an epochal technological transformation. After taking a deep look, it's clear that this inflection poses both an existential challenge & huge opportunity. @Richard_Florida #MPC23

Here is a small preview of his thinking: The widely held perception that Michigan suffers from a brain drain is a myth. It ranks 7th nationally for its percentage of college graduates who stay in the state. But it lags badly in attracting young tech talent from elsewhere. #MPC23
