I would love to see a left wing political party in the US. Having the right wing Democrats falsely claim to be on the political left side of Ronald Reagan is a joke.
Are you actually suggesting that Canada doesn't monitor and approve their drugs? How about England? Americans should be able to buy legal drugs over the internet from any country with an equivalent drug control system.
You can buy a new release DVD in China for $5, or in the USA for $25. The difference in price is not shipping and handling, it is regional prices (higher profit margins in the richer countries). Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks. They set the prices as high as they can in each market. Is this not the very definition of free trade, that you can buy what you want where you want? Instead of extending copyright on the next trade deal, we need the right to import IP products with nothing more than taxes added.
The most expensive part of a data network is the last mile. This is why cell data systems are cheaper (to build) than cable or fiber. Of course newer systems are usually more expensive as they didn't get built by the taxpayer then given away to the company to exploit.
It is standard practice to use accounting tricks to minimize income, so as to maximize profits. Also: give away the razor and sell the blades is a profitable plan. If there was no profit in the phone industry, most of the players would get out and do something else.
There is nothing wrong with third world wages, if you live in the third world. If companies expect to pay that here then they need to drop the cost of living to that level.
Our Intelligence Agencies need to be split between attack and defense, so that every time we get hacked we know who to blame. Let the CIA take care of all offense and spying stuff, with the NSA devoted to keeping America safe. Big question: will they (now) help patch the holes in our security? That would neutralize the weapons their poor security dumped into the hands of America's enemies.
They might demand you write it down or enter it. Having a two stage password, keycode followed by audible password might stop that (right to remain silent).
So every time your girlfriend nags you to hurry up and order pizza it won't? That could be an issue. As for desire to log in, i'm sure they could drug you up with something that would make cooperation seem reasonable.
You need 2 passwords to your phone. Both log into your phone, but the second one lets you see/use a private folder. You give them the first and everything looks real because it is- file dates look good, games get played, email is there, texting files ok- except that some stuff is missing that they don't know about. Better than a duress password, because there is no way to identify it as a duress password.
The lack of a working mind reading machine is the only roadblock to thoughtcrime laws. I expect once they get that they will pass laws of "Planning a crime".
Given that the NSA (It's their job) records all foreign communications, it should be easy to prove if Gülen actually plotted against the government of Turkey. Lack of such evidence looks bad for the US government, and could be taken as proof they supported the coup attempt.
Realize that wood does not naturally come in 15" rounds, you need a chain saw to buck it up first. You are more likely to be gathering sticks in the forest if you haven't done any preparations or live on a farm.
It's close enough we could send a probe. Making an anti-matter powered rocket is doable with current technology, if we had a really good reason to spend the cash. In about a hundred years such a probe mission would be within NASA's budget, at the current rate of tech advancement.
The Intelligence services chase the easy dollar. They will first target the most common solutions. Therefore if you use the common solutions you already lost. We must choose between easy/lazy and secure.
Have government own and run the cellphone infrastructure as a public service, like roads. Let corporations provide the content and services that run on that network.
Expecting U-tube to police their network for copyright infringement is like expecting Ford to prevent their cars from being used to rob banks. The only reason the copyright holders are not responsible for this is because they want to offload the work and cost to someone else, AKA maximize profit.

Executive orders should only apply to employees of the US government. They should not be a back door to passing laws.

So encrypt everything by default, is that what I'm hearing?

It's not incompetence, it's willful ignorance. They get paid for the calls, regardless of legality, so why spend money verifying legality?

The phrase you are looking for is "Deserting your post in the face of the enemy", and usually meets the definition of Treason (but not in the USA).

So they can install spyware (unencrypted partition), but not directly access your data- until you log in and their spyware gets access.
Only applies when "Inside" the country. The border is not inside the country.

If your business is providing phone service, you should be regulated as a phone company. The law should not change because "over the internet".

The Mongols did indeed pay for the wall, in the form of bribes to get inside to plunder the towns and villages of China.
