You sometimes need to keep old people away from the keyboard.
The internet is a component of that. I have a deck of COBOL cards in a box somewhere and yep, it all goes back to that. All of the clerking and moving bits of paper around jobs are gone. There are no more mail rooms in companies, no more box stacking jobs, there are no more middle managers. I could buy a car anywhere in the world using my phone in under a minute.
We're either looking at medieval rates of income disparity or much higher taxes to prevent revolution. I think what will happen is that some countries (the EU/Canada/Australia/Japan) will use the US as a dirty lab for some of the higher risk stuff of capitalism while maintaining a firewall to maintain civilization.

I was working for a software company specializing in network security back in the post 2001 period. I recall that we had more than a few discussions with the unskilled egomaniac in charge of the marketing of that firm that many competitors were using their Canadian branch office addresses 'front and centre' in their marketing to the European market.
Why? Because one doesn't always want to be perceived as an American.
The myth of Americans with Canadian flag stickers on their passports is not completely false.
Well, he was horrified at the notion. In fact, if you want to see how existential angst can be suddenly manifest in someone's behaviour in an unexpected setting, try this. I expect that we'll see more of the same in the next year. Ultimately, countries will roll their own code, and have their own Silicon Valleys because of the national security issue. A few years ago I remember seeing an ad from I believe a Swedish firm selling routers and switches that were 'designed and built' in Europe with each unit only delivered to a physical address in Europe. Does anyone else remember this outfit?
Everything around your product changes. H264 is getting replaced by H265, and H266, et cetera. Various dependencies will be deprecated. New dependencies will be needed.
After a few years, once the code base gets creaky, you want to keep people who know why things were made that way to be around so you don't accidentally unplug something.
This also applies to other sectors. A salesman who is not making his numbers now may be back to making his numbers in a stellar way in a few quarters. Why? Some sales take a log time to bring home. On some products you only get a kick at the can every two or three years when a new vice-president is brought into a division and does the 'change shows I'm doing something' thing.
This strikes me as the babble of a guy in consumer products where the sales cycle is short and the emphasis is high volume. In enterprise products, or in products where you're building something that needs to hang around for a few years like aircraft, bridges, enterprise grade software deployments where if you fuck something up, it's not a tech support call that comes in it's a phone call saying 'I want someone from your team in my office to-morrow to explain the service disruption to my lawyers.'
He can talk this way because his products are not in any place where a long game needs to be played.
Not in Canada but three or four terms is about the limit before people get tired of any politician. Moreover, I don't think much of 'Harper-ism' will survive Harper. Too much of his 'reforms' are based upon running the entire government off his desk.For example, not letting government scientists talk to the press unless the PMO understands what is being said, i.e.. nothing. Statistics Canada now actually appends footnotes saying that their work cannot be trusted because the statistical samples are now too small or otherwise do not meet best practices.
Moreover, Conservative judges have a way of ruling more for individual liberty than institutional liberties once they are ruling at lofty Olympian levels of the Supreme Court. Politicians keep being surprised by this.
Politicians are egomaniacs and love the prestige of being invited into 'the great game'. So, we can't put our faith in them to encourage a reasonable balance between the necessary and important work that intelligence agencies must do and civil liberties that are necessary for the wee project we call western civilization.
Judges reallly. really really hate being lied to. They're confronted with people who will do nearly anything to stay out of jail or avoid paying fines so they have to assume that someone is bending the truth a bit in court. But bending the truth a lot is the sort of thing they have all sorts of powers to dissuade. Now, the Crown may never lay charges but that's a separate issue. Rulings of all kinds can rattle up the ladder and cause no end of unintentional activities.
My example is this. In the automotive industry the car manufacturers make new intellectual property. Everyone else is in inventory, logistics, or repair. The same thing goes with software. Most people in technology are in the integration and configuration business.
As others have said above, this is not a lot of money, and how they got asked may have had a lot to do with it but surely someone said 'This will eventually come out'? I guess the people approving it were hoping to be long gone by then.

It'd not be a problem except that they don't tell you until after you submit the text, and then go back to check. I mean, it's nearly 2014, you'd think some basic support for formatting would be on most web sites. Actually, scratch that. Extensive support for text formatting when you're asking Joe/Jane consumer to paste in a resume should be ready.
Why?
People will more often than not be pasting from a Word file. Yes, most of that formatting can be ignored because Word tends to fill formatting with no end of wrappers but replacing bullets and dashes with character strings is silly.
I recently applied for a job on a web site. In addition to the usual infuriations (thanks for uploading your resume, please spend the next 45 minutes copying and pasting individual paragraphs into our form. Oh, and we don't support ASCII so good luck with those bullets) the password was constrained to A-Z and numbers only and under 10 characters.
I usually use a random string from something from a strong password generator script. Why any programmer with more than two brain cells to rub together would want a weak password is beyond mysterious to me. Probably some ding-dong in marketing demanded it.
I'd been contributing to an article on a film. We'd sourced plenty of material and it was a really in-depth affair.
Then some ding-dong undergraduate deleted it and substituted his own 35,000 word essay. This boring shot-by-shot description written in stiff prose and sprinkled with gems from the thesaurus undid a year of work and good luck trying to get it repealed because his school buddies have plenty of time to wage an edit war when the rest of us are at work.
Of course, this could mean that half of the potential alternative projections of reality will turn out to be slightly shittier versions of what we have now.
But the other half will have jet packs and rocket cars! And no marketing directors!

Of course, one would then be presented with the image of men in ski masks with flags depicting cars behind them as they read their demands.

We'll take your stuff, which you possibly use for your business or work, and won't tell you why, or for how long.
There need to be laws and yes, intelligence agencies, but barring a crime, this ends up being bad PR.
Of course, this could mean that half of the potential alternative projections of reality will turn out to be slightly shittier versions of what we have now.
But the other half will have jet packs and rocket cars! And no marketing directors!
