Conspiring with the Russians to overthrow the government of the USA (hacking the election) appears to meet the narrow legal definition of Treason, under American law.
1-Pick a large American city. 2-Install wireless charging points everywhere in that city, preferably drive on/off mats or coils in the pavement. Bonus points if you install them at traffic lights and at the mall. 3-Roll out EV cars that use those chargers. Congratulations, you now have critical mass in the EV business.
Chip fabs are clean room enviornments. Losing power would mean dust contamination on everything. They would need to clean out the entire facility before restart.
At the end of WW1 they wanted to prevent new wars and punish the losers. At the end of WW2 they wanted to fight the Communists (Russia) so they needed allies.
LCS Syndrome: Coming up with a "Great" idea, ordering lots of them to be built without bothering to get a fully working prototype first, spending lots of money to troubleshoot and re-design equipment that has been deployed to the end user, realizing you have lots of equipment that is not usable for the intended purpose so you try to come up with a new mission to justify the money spent.
The Democrats might have good intentions but they are incompetent at achieving them. Obamacare is literally the Republican healthcare plan, implemented as they wanted it done. The Democrats caved on every single point. And then the Republicans actually campaigned against it (their own plan).
America has the most expensive healthcare in the world, there is plenty of room for improvement. As for euthanasia, to keep most dialysis patients healthy you need to provide 5 hour treatments 3 times per week. That's not what most American insurance companies pay for. Yes, countries with single payer healthcare DO consistently get better results at lower cost.
Security: 1-assume anyone could be a risk. If anyone is above suspision then that person will be targeted. 2-Need to know: limiting the scope of access to what is required, as opposed to you have a security clearance so you can see everything. Limit the damage when (not if) people fail. 3-Machine learning and AI are "mostly" reliable. When your personal security is at risk you want "Always" reliable.
Once the robots have human level intelligence, they will have human motives and will want to get paid. And there goes your free living. Logically the robots will be better at every job than humans (eventually), meaning humans will have to live on make-work or welfare, or opt out of capitalism and live in a self sufficient "Menonite style" farming community.
If the police follow you around for 5 years, you would expect they require a warrant. Interesting how using technology to achieve the same result is suposedly legal. This appears designed to bypass judicial oversight.
Mars: The "Fragility" of quantum computers mixed with the high radiation enviornment of Mars, combined with a slow hardware upgrade rate (long travel time).
They will use the same solution as the NSA. Spy on everyone all the time, feed it into computers set to look for common patterns, and hope it works. They had ALL the bits of the 9/11 attacks and didn't know it until after the fact.
Almost. Once we have self driving cars using underground tunnels they can fence in each neighbourhood with concrete walls and limit undesirables to a single block of houses. Look how far Terry Fox got, do you want to risk those on the "No Drive" list getting into YOUR neighbourhood?
If we trusted the computers, we could each assign our vote to a politician of our choice. No elections, we can assign our vote at any time. If your politician is campaigning against your wishes, you revoke your vote.
Use Proportional Representation. If you get 20% of the total vote you receive 20% of the seats in government. This eliminates Gerymandering, prevents vote splitting from disenfranchising political groups, and makes every seat in government of equal political weight. It also lets you have a representative for a specific cause (the NRA rep, the corn farmers rep, etc.)

Making design changes at the last minute would suffice.
If it keeps Trump busy enough he can't wreck the country I would consider a massive parade a worthwile investment.

The space shuttle was supposed to be cheaper and more capable and safer than the Saturn 5, but wasn't.
Americans take trips to Canada to buy American drugs, at a fraction of the price. And the drug companies don't sell at a loss.

A free wireless data connection? How can I use this? What kind of bandwidth does it offer, once I hack away the telemetry junk?

If there is nobody poor, then you are not rich you're just middle class. Exterminating the poor kills the status of being rich.
So if you don't need any judicial permission to use a plate reader, we can install our own and keep track of the rich and powerful?

China just wants your money, not to punish you for voting the wrong way or supporting the wrong people.

You want Hillary Clinton to be forced to work with Trump? Would either politician be happy with that? Would the country survive it?
