They said a similar thing about Trump, that, as the other candidates dropped out, their votes would never go to Trump, who would be stuck at 30%, but to the ever fewer remaining candidates, until one had all non Trump votes at over 60%.
This "race to the bottom" is a rejection of two and a half billion people raising themselves out of literal dirt floor poverty, proving, again, economic freedom works the miracles central planning cannot.
What you call "the bottom" is something they aspire to. They find the idea of an apartment and a smart phone and TV intoxicatingly attractive and will work for it.
There can be too much pollution, but regulations need to consider actual advancement. People live longer and healthier in a modern, polluted society than in grinding, dirt-floor poverty.
Equalizing regulations to the vastly over-regulated west (where factory and plant construction is ground almost to a halt) is in nobody's interest *here*, much less in China. You need the happy medium where regulation does not interfere much with growth...if health and longevity, both of which rely on advancement, are your priority. If these are not your priority, thanks for killing people with your policies.
"On the other hand we know there are legitimate concerns about government intrusion, network security, and creating new vulnerabilities that bad actors can and would exploit."
The design of the US constitution is based on the observation, from cold, hard reality, that government is the worst of the bad actors in the long run. So you deny it certain powers, even in emergencies. Emergency powers lead to the downfall of many previous democracies, in Rome, Greece, and pre-WWII Germany.
They can be right while still being short-sighted and wrong.
People don't understand that these fabulously wealthy, evil, greedy companies in well-established industries run at a small profit margin. If it is 10%, say, then if 1 of 10 customers doesn't pay, there it all goes down the tube. There isn't as much waking around money to cover it as imagined.
While the Government might promise that it would not prosecute an individual for checking Facebook at work, we are not at liberty to take prosecutors at their word in such matters. A court should not uphold a highly problematic interpretation of a statute merely because the Government promises to use it responsibly.
Pay attention the next time your senator or congresswoman or Attorney General or CIA head or ex head or President says, "Come on, Shelley. Give it a rest. We aren't going to abuse it."
This despite a requirement by The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT that developers perform usability tests as part of a certification process that makes their EHRs eligible for the government's EHR incentive program.

I am fine with super-rich dumping money into curing death. It will benefit all.
That it would be "kept secret, just fer dem!" is fine class warfare fiction. A rich person would be very interested in becoming vastly richer still by selling it, or even just selling the proverbial secret cure for cancer. Or tablet to turn water to gas. Or perpetual motion machine.
They could restrict reproduction, until virtual world perfection and people could turn inward. Then they could have unfinite kids in the virtual world and
While I would love to see whoever invented this become the world's first trillionaire, the governments should just pay him or her that trillion (tax free) and own it.
Far more importantly, every government position, even unelected ones (at least higher levels, sub political apointee) need to have term limits. Current systems without (e.g. US Congress, Supreme Court) still have the de facto term limit of death to move things along.
Permanent leadership with no turnover will just end in dictatorship. It can even be seen as a form of it.

Sounds like every politician.
Anyone can give it out "for free"...after a better, more dynamic economy invents it for them.
You have a static, loot the fruit someone else grew while punching your own farmers in the balls worldview.

Nice theory.
How about horse shit dust covering everything pre-awful-cars days?

I will hopefully be retired early (and still alive). If not, probably still embedded C++.
That is the closest to a constant you will get.
So is Microsoft watching everything I type, listening in on everything, and recording every web site even if on Chrome or Chrome incognito?

The place I rent doesn't charge late fees but rather knocks $50 off if you pay at least 5 days early.
Works very well.
DAMMIT! I am at penis.turtle.fatass.
