Solana co-founder and chief executive officer of Solana, Anatoly Yakovenko, has recently remained highly critical of the administration of Joe Biden.
He has rebuked the US government for its ineptitude in creating jobs and encouraging employment opportunities at the local levels.
Solana co-founder: Government Failed in Creating Jobs
Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko is reportedly infuriated by the fact that most of the jobs in the Solana ecosystem could have been positioned in California or elsewhere in the United States but have become overseas.
His comments come as the US labor market is under additional scrutiny, with new reports suggesting job growth is cooling.
According to recent JOLTS data from the US Labor Department, job openings fell to 7.7 million (4.6%), below the forecasted 8.1 million and down from 8.18 million the previous month. That is signaling a cooling labor market that could prompt a dovish stance by the Federal Reserve.
Austin Federa, Head of Strategy at The Solana Foundation, said of the rising opportunities available within the Solana ecosystem:
“With 237 jobs open on Solana’s community job board, there’s truly never been a better time to jump into a Solana project.”
He pointed out the wave of new projects migrating or expanding in the Solana network. “If you’re one of them,” he said, “hit me up. He added he will help with “infrastructure, devs, ecosystem connections, GTM, marketing, intros, general advice and Solana nuances to accelerate.”
Despite such job prospects, he expressed his frustration that one should employ workers within the borders of the US. This could have happened, had it not been for governmental incompetence both at the state and federal levels.
The critique by Anatoly Yakovenko forms part of a broader dissatisfaction he has voiced regarding how the current administration is handling employment. Particularly, this frustration is more fierce, considering the rate at which tech and blockchain jobs could have grown on US soil. Especially he refers to places like California, known to be a hotbed for innovation.
Solana co-founder believes that one could have distributed those jobs locally to give jobs to the American workforce. However, this was made well-nigh impossible because of what he perceives as ineffective governance.
Yakovenko’s Frustration at the US for Employment Policies
This is not the first time that Anatoly Yakovenko has gone on a rant against the Biden government. During a recent interview, he spoke about how he hated the way American democracy works, insinuating that politicians make poor decisions to get themselves re-elected to continue to stay in power. He also criticized US crypto regulation. Solana co-founder compared it to healthcare chaos, amid rising crypto political influence and significant election spending.
He further cosponsored comments from Congressman Ritchie Torres, which attacked the approach to crypto regulation espoused by SEC’s Gensler. Torres said that Gensler believes that just because something like a Pokémon card was tokenized, it became a security. It seems like “a magic spell that obliterates the economic reality of a transaction of this nature”.
Solana co-founder reiterated this sense further, stating that the government’s regulating actions are misaligned with the needs of the industry. He also surfaced clear policies several times to help the US be a blockhain leader.
Anatoly Yakovenko makes his criticisms at a time when the labor market outlook in the US is uncertain. The September jobs report, that is coming out on Friday, might reflect a cooling market- but one that is nevertheless stable.
The October report, that will be out on November 1, just days before the presidential election, however may show darker clouds. Major events, such as the aftermath of Hurricane Helene or Boeing machinists going on strike. Also there is the large-scale strike at US ports that could disrupt those numbers and make the jobs outlook less predictable.
All this disruption only serves to further convince Anatoly Yakovenko that the governmental policy of the US stands in its own way. One can see that especially within the creation of stable, high-tech jobs in fields such as blockchain.
