The corporations want to shift the cost of doing business elsewhere.
So they look for ways to externalize their costs.
They off load their healthcare costs like walmart by making most of the employees part time, etc etc....
So in this case they look to blame one engineer for something as a scapegoat instead of the company taking the blame as the error was likely a "group effort", lol.
In this age of fascism the corporation has more rights then a human, and its needs will be placed above those of humans.
Many dystopian stories covered what is happening right now, and yet it continues.
I think putting large contracts like the panama canal up for low bid is stupid.
The companies always bid lower then what its really going to cost and then the cost over runs begin.
What should be done is the company is picked by the quality of its work and how its held up against the test of time.
The company with the best record wins.
Then the price is variable based on the usual surprises that come up when building something this massive, and you don't know what you are going to run into underground, etc...
The workers are all paid the prevailing industry wage, and quality becomes the decider not which bidder can lie best.
We are sacrificing quality for printed pieces of paper backed by nothing with tangible value, ie. fiat currency.
Actually they merely keep a file on you, and they are glad that you break there rules because if you ever become a problem for one of their pet projects then out comes your file and you get a visit from them.
I don't agree with everything Ms. Rand said, but this one fits...
“There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”
This is why they always make sure they have dirt on any of the politicians that make it to DC, they want dirt on the ppl they have their puppet strings attached too.
So in fact they want you to be a little dirty, so they can use it as leverage.
The ppl puppeteering this whole show are all about leverage.
Yeah at times it looks like they follow Orwell and Huxley like a playbook.
One of their best old tricks is Divide and Rule, where you get half of the population mad at the other half and whip them into a frenzy with broadsheets in the old days, and the "Project Mockingbird" media in the modern day.
The best way to keep the public from being mad at the plutocrats is give them a different bone to chew on and that is the fake political process that is totally rigged, just like the congress critter who said on a hot mic "It's all rigged" over and over.
The fact is the plutocrats, oligarches, kleptocrats, and other parasites and looters always worm their way into any government and subvert it and compromise the people and the process.
This has been a generational thing where the families pass on these tricks to their offspring, and they are societal leeches that bleed the workign class dry over and over for centuries.
Google the term "Robber Baron", and you get an idea of whom I am speaking.
In the realm of political piracy there is truly nothing new under the sun.
Sometimes I think these round table groups get together and break open Orwell, Huxley, and others and use them like a operating manual on how to puppeteer the governments.

This is the reason ppl are talking about mining the moon, Helium-3 is
needed for this method.
JET is in the UK, NIF is in California.
Where all those stupid Americans are you know...
Yeah many years ago one of the Rockefeller's said China was the model society,
and thus the shift in manufacturing there.
As they setup the CFR, and Hillary admits on video they take their orders
from the CFR, I'd say the die has been cast.
Many organizations benefit off keeping the sheeple busy with distraction.
Much like the bread and circuses analogy.
While they keep them entertained and in fear from the "terrorists"
while spending as much as the next 25 nations combined on military.
So it is my opinion that it is to some ppls benefit to have things like they are here.
Namely Religion, Mil-Industrial, Big Agri, Big Pharma, Big Medica
Them like most human endeavors have been corrupted.
A part of the looters gold pile has been found offshore....my what a huge pile...

The real reason it was called the dark ages.

I think what got us out of it somewhat was the Renaissance.

Technology, if it can remain nuetral will free us from this
attempt at a 2nd dark ages.
No, the wisdom and insight was in the comments such as yours.
Its here, its just shows up after the story is posted.

Someone has been drinking the kool-aid.
It may be better for the 1%, but it sure is not for the working class sled dogs.
Just because someone stops receiving unemployment checks
doesn't mean they have a job.
The U-6 unemployment rate is north of 17%.
The percentage employed is around 62% by Dept of Labor's own numbers.
The misery index is at a 40 year high.
Some of the dumbing down of the youth is deliberate.

I've been to Paris in the 1980's and you didn't want to go there then, its worse now.
There is a reason for that...

Its called externalizations.

The island is too small to represent the rest of the habitat.
To be honest I see this as a microcosm vs. a macrocosm.
I think time and money could be better used elsewhere.
I think putting large contracts like the panama canal up for low bid is stupid.

We are sacrificing quality for printed pieces of paper backed by nothing
with tangible value, ie. fiat currency.
The focus needs to return to quality.

This is correct, also almost all hardware is hacking you from the inside out.

And again, don't blame the chinese, they were paid to put it in there.
Now when they used the fake chips in the cisco routers for the DoD,
that is a very different can of worms.
The plutocrats, oligarchs, and kleptocrats are shaking in their boots because you
gave them a list of names that are their enemies, roflmao.
Besides Divide and Rule, the False Flag is a favorite tactic of governments,
that and lying to the public.
Google "USS Liberty" check all the articles on that, Google "Terrence Yeakey"
and check all the articles on that.
After you take a deep look at what's going on you start to realize what
really happened to Michael Hastings and Pat Tillman.
They were silenced.
Actually they merely keep a file on you, and they are glad that you break there rules
because if you ever become a problem for one of their pet projects then out comes
your file and you get a visit from them.

"What will work is broad social change done through democratic processes."
Watch the film "Hacking Democracy" and then tell me how its going to work.
Democracy is an illusion in most of the nations of the world.
Its there to give ppl the illusion of choice, you have no choice, you have owners. ~ George Carlin.
