    Re "Who decides what gets published"
    SJW.
    Brands, sjw, cults, faith groups, nations, celebrities will be ensuring any mention of topics they don't approve of will be set as distracting.
    Only conversations they approve of will be allowed.
    Write a negative comment about a movie? No more social media after that negative review.
    Mention a nations human rights.. Social media will correct that comment thanks to tourism ads.
    No negative reviews of brands that buy ads.
    Faith groups will report any blasphemy about their teachings. No history about religion on social media.
    Support one side of politics and every comment is approved.
    Support another side of politics and that conversation will be removed.
    Discover who funds a politically active NGO? That news is not going to be part of the conversation.
    Under new social media censorship rules everything will always be approved and correct.

    The problem with Switzerland is the Swiss military command structure and its closeness with the US mil.
    At a staff level the US officer contact is as close to Switzerland as any military in a 5 eye nation.
    The Swiss command level officers have enjoyed getting educated with the US mil for decades and will always support any US requests for help.

    If a brand wants it done cheaper, move the brand to that low cost nation AC.
    Let that nation attract brands with the low cost workers, no taxes and engineering skills.
    Why pay to bring low cost workers to the US to take jobs in the USA?

    It winning for so many people. Everyone but the US tech worker is winning.
    It keeps unions down in the USA. Thats great for the brand and its wealth.
    Nations send their best to the USA so their own workforces don't have a few of their best every generation working for the US brands.
    That allows the US to stay super competitive in some strange way? By removing the best from other nations and getting them to work in USA?
    Lawyers help US brands place the international workers and ensure the US gov accepts the reasons for needing generations of workers from out side the USA.

    The workers return to their own nations to spread the good news about the USA and their decades of work in the USA.
    Graduates all over the USA have do without jobs so the US gov can present working in the USA as a good thing globally?
    Some might return to their own nations years later as spies for the USA. Wanting to bring democracy to their own nations.
    Jobs in the CIA to see who will spy for the USA back in their own nation after enjoying years of working in US so much?

    Big US brands get to keep total control over their international workers as they cant speak to conditions and wages without risking their ability to stay in the US.
    For all that the average US worker has to give up their job and expensive education so some brand can have bring in international workers every decade.
    All that effort should have gone into US education, vocational education and scholarships. Within a few years the US could have had all the skilled workers in needed generations ago.

    Why pay to look after another nations average tech workers in the USA every year? Educate US citizens for well paying local jobs.
