Since Trump has never articulated a comprehensive science/tech platform, the most we can hope for right now is that the Democrats will finally be shocked into ditching the anti-science left and reaching back to its great days of popularity under Roosevelt to rebuild its base.
Franklin Roosevelt summoned oil pipelines into being when the country needed them: http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu... Today's Democrats look for fake religious reasons - not even scientifically testable environmental arguments - why pipelines should not be built.
The problem there is that there is nothing for Greens and Libertarians to coalesce on. Would Rearden Metal have to be bloomery iron now? A new generation of cave wall paintings that trade on a free market?
Such as, how much do Trump's people know about the energy situation. Trump himself has said some good things, like finally opening the Shoreham nuclear plant, but during the campaign he promoted coal, everyone's least favorite energy source, and ducked a question about opening Yucca Mountain. At least we'll get the Dakota Access Pipeline finished now, and probably as part of a specific push for energy independence.
This does seem like a more sensble test track than LA to SF. At least land is cheap (mostly desert), power is cheap (mostly oil and solar) and labour is cheap (mostly slave).
And best of all, no California regulations, Green warriors, or NIMBYites.

"Most of the jobs are being produced in only 3 cities Delhi, Bombay and Bangalore and over 1 million people migrate from smaller towns"
No. most of the new jobs are being produced in Los Angeles, Chicago and the Bay Area. That's where all people migrating from smaller Indian towns are headed for.
Tesco opened a number of stores in Phoenix a few years ago (under the name Fresh 'n' Easy), before quietly withdrawing after they decided they weren't making enough in the competitive Western grocery market. They didn't do any banking there, though.
The conservatives shat on the Unions time and time again to where they barely even exist now. This is what you get. You asked for this bed. Lay in it. I already got mine.
Yes, IT people could become longshoremen except that for the most part we are no good at beating people up. But would we be able to whistle at women again?
"I don't understand what drives C level officers to H1B folks."
Because, in this case, it's healthcare. This industry is always searching for ways to screw people over, and messed-up IT is a great way of doing it. Gives them another excuse to run everything off a rat's nest of ancient paper records.
"You can't replace fireworks with stuff that doesn't intentionally blow up. That's most of the fun of fireworks. That you can make a pretty bomb. That's what's impressive. Of course a drone can do much more color variety. But it's a piece of high tech remote controlled/programmed flight equipment."

I'm afraid it just doesn't have the same ring to it. Nobody is going to sing that at a baseball game.
Social opprobrium is what kills off usage of a drug, not the law. Tobacco is less popular today than every drug on the DEA schedule, including heroin. If we put tobacco on the schedule, it would probably become more popular.
"Well yeah, if you consider Anthony Weiner's impending tragic suicide - where he ties himself to a chair, then jumps out the 20th floor window, twice! - as "help"."
No, he will overdose on Viagra, causing his "brain" to explode on camera.
You Greens are now faced with a dilemma. To stop a space telescope, you will have to put on space suits and get into orbit, rather than just showing up in Hawaii and piling rocks on a road. Your dilemma is that doing so will go against everything you people stand for. As an ultimate humiliation, the Russians will probably insist on vaccinations before you get to go to their spaceport and ride in their vehicle.
"Or you could use DuckDuckGo.com, Startpage.com, or Disconnect.me for free. Note, none of those track you. Also, one of those wraps Google, another Bing and the third can produce better results sometimes."
And if you do use one of those alternative search engines, what assurance do you have, exactly, that its business model is not something other than the Anonymous Billionaire Providing Service Out of Sheer Altruism you are assuming? I would rather deal with a company that has an openly declared , SEC-registered profit motive.

I hate this sort of thing, generally speaking... but bringing down an auto-dialer farm seems like a net plus for humanity.
My vote goes to whoever invents a practical means of killing robocall centers. So should the Nobel Peace Prize.

All pressure to have world time centered on one country comes from countries too small to have more than one time zone.

Refugee neighborhoods will snap these up. Still legal to carry everywhere, yet lethal when they feel mildly offended about something.

And just in time for the election, HCSC releases a herd of new Trump voters into the wild.
Yelp reviewers would then have to opine on how closely the real experience matched the virtual try-me's on the establishment's website.
Can you take the rest of the ACs with you? The Mugabe relatives who now own the farms over there need people who can do forced labor.
