#FreeAdvice: People pitch ideas to me all the time via email or even social media messaging. Afterall, I sometimes make financial investments, and I’m also a journalist and a meta-connector--and of course running for President. If the pitch is polite and well-written, I try to answer briefly. But many millennials and younger people today have a way of writing pitch letters that will never see the light of day. To begin with: Most people reading pitches have 10-20 seconds for your idea (we get up to 100 emails a day). If you can’t get me in the first 4 sentences of the pitch, you likely won’t at all. I need to know what you want, and why I should take more than 20 seconds for your idea. That means within the first 4 sentences, you need to impress me with your idea, and then you need to convince me you can pull it off. And just importantly, you have to be polite and smart sounding also. Additionally, within the first 4 sentences, I need to know if you’ve been successful in the past, if you went to college, and who you know or are connected to. By the 5th and 6th sentences, I want to know why you want to do this and if anyone else is doing it. Finally, always have proper salutations in emails. And be as professional as possible. When it doubt, take the higher road and offer as much respect as possible to you who are dealing with. #UpgradingAmerica #Zoltan2020

#Abortion is an incredibly divisive topic in America. But in the near future, artificial wombs may offer a 3rd choice to women. I believe the government should support and even spend research money to help bring this technology into the public sphere. The more choices, the better. I believe both conservatives and liberals will support the artificial womb (pic of me on Good Morning Britain): #UpgradingAmerica #Zoltan2020

Let’s talk about borders and immigration. But you can’t talk about borders and immigration without talking about China and India. What you say? Look here, in the US, we’re about to get out asses kicked economically AND culturally by China. They are equaling or beating us in nearly everything these days and will soon be more powerful than us overall. India will likely do the same to us in 10 years. We simply can’t compete against nations that have 4 or 5 times our population. China will soon have as many engineers as our overall workforce. Think about that for a moment. So what should America do to stay relevant? LET PEOPLE IN AMERICA TO GROW IT (faceplant for #Trump). I have an open-border policy. Everyone but violent criminals gets let in. And to safeguard us, I suggest tracking devices for all immigrants for a period of three years. All immigrants also must leave a $5000 refundable security deposit which they can get back if the government doesn’t spend money on them. No free social services to immigrants except grade and high school and some catastrophic health insurance for children. I will fast track citizenship so immigrants can become full Americans after three years. We can grow America as we once did to compete against China, but you don’t get to come to be a freeloader. You come to work, pay your taxes, build a life here, be an American, and make America hold its own against totalitarian China. It’s an honor and a privilege to come to America. You must learn English and American customs and test on them. That’s my immigration policy. We want you all here! We want to grow to be competitive. But you must add to the country prosperity and success. #UpgradingAmerica #Zoltan2020
