The US gave away its jobs to friendly nations. So the stability for many to find work and earn a living wage is gone in the USA.
What took a good educated 10% of the population is now a US brand as a front company with 1% needed. Even that is a global workforce invited in.
Designed in the USA, made anywhere cheap.
Everything of value that was good is gone. More new low wage jobs selling coffee, wine, beer, security every day and night?
Working for the gov/mil or been a mil contractor who enjoys no bid gov/mil work is not a long term solution given the private sector tax rates.
The US needs to rediscover good private sector jobs for its own citizens. Only the US private sector can create the kind of quality, reward and advancement that grows a nation.
Illegal workers have been allowed to flood the lower end of the jobs market to counter unions and be replaceable if any work place issues arise.
Student loans are based on every entry consideration but real merit and academic ability. Creating vast amounts of average graduates with safe, soft degrees in been "fun" years later is not what any advanced work force needs.
Good people still want to learn, study, work, better themselves, move up in society, do better than past generations when asked as always. But the option to do that has been reduced.
The few top university options based on years of hard work are been lost to very average students with no academic considerations.
Local jobs to even support a local college education are few and far between as older workers have to stay on and illegal workers are allowed to fill in.
Been rich and been famous is not the same thing. A lot of famous people have lost all their wealth. Some rich people are not well known.
To keep wealth it is often good to make contact with the political class. Charity work globally, NGO's with full gov backing.
Think of advanced money laundering.
A company get sued in one nation with gov cash flow limits. No way to get cash out the country. Even extended family buying a 10th home, expensive fake education claims don't work anymore.
So create a totally fake law suit.
The boss to pay out huge amounts to another legally advanced safe nation due to damages. Stolen design issues, wasted product run, a contract.
Huge amounts of cash was lost in an open court case in another happy nation with actual rule of law. Expert third party advice in that safe nation was to pay up in full and save the reputation of the brand.
The cash flows out and its all good.
The court finding was real, the contract was fake, the other company was fake, the third party advice was fake. The wronged company is a front set up to get the cash payment out.
The small company wronged in a safe country just fails a short time later and the cash is gone to a few hidden investors.
Why not try the same on the internet? No bespoke production run needed, no design lawyers. Same arranged third party legal advice given to settle quickly and in full.
Totally fake arbitration gets the cash flowing out and the court moves on to the next case.
All your staff know is decades of AI coding, so the AI must be the only product the market needs are wants.
The AI and its results are perfect because the smart private sector poured all its cash into that product line.
Its a bit like the final decades of East Germany with the state saying that larger units take over all remaining smaller dynamic areas of production.
All ability to be dynamic, to change with demand, quality, any slack or ability to ramp up was finally and fully lost.
Capitalism is about changes around what people want. AI design about what select, sheltered developers feel everyone should be is not going to work well.
The hope is that an AI correcting language, pushing new thinking, limiting language, hiding results and pushing inclusive trends to the top will shape generations and the world will be so much "better" sooner.
Consider everyday text search results this decade:
So the "just ignore all values and hardcode the one output." is the trend, just the user has pages of top results presented to think they and the AI could find something unique on their own.
The only quest is to find the politically sensitive staff to hardcode a fake AI with the correct hardcoded results that still feels natural to older generations who can still recall real indexing results.
i.e. the user now gets 100's of pages of safe results no matter the complexity of the search.
The most easy way is to shrink the search pool. e.g. books. Just ban authors and publishers from been indexed and the AI will never search or find words, topics. Report the user for even trying to expand on forbidden fiction, political, historic or faith based terms.
If a publisher risks total delisting, they will request authors stay within the AI developers standards when presenting all new material. The AI will then have nothing new to search and only find politically and historically safe material. Cults, community groups and faiths will also get to clean up any results that remain with trusted "helper" NGO's squads.
Its great for civil asset forfeiture too. Buy lots of telco products with that new cash flow. Then rent and buy more time with the private sector to track ever more users.
More case work, over time, expanding budgets, promotions, holidays. More asset forfeiture to cover any shortfall in city, state and federal task force funding after big upgrades or just to cover every new budget.
Contractors see the money left on the table and swarm in with fantastic rental software products per city, state to find more "users" in real time.
Police forces are then addicted to rental GUI's, voice prints, phone tracking, bespoke malware key loggers, ip's and onion routing discovery per case.
The toolsets of nations, mil are now been rented on city and state budgets at federal prices.
Every min, hour, day, week, year sat in front of a contractor social media tracking system is billed to the state or city.
Just rearrange terms like "people", government, contractors a bit and its all legal in every city and state again.
The US government actually has to allow for the right of assemble and petition without big gov/mil been able to spy, block or stop such fully protected activity.
The press is also free to report on such comments and petitions without the gov getting enforce a stop to all such reporting.
Freedom was understood to work well when not under chilling domestic spying and that is why it is fully protected from any gov.
All that British tyranny in the past now gives the people huge amounts of freedom to talk, interact, protest and even report freely.
If only private sector contractors could be used to get around such gov limitations?
If the private sector collects all its not a gov search, no warrants per person needed, no gov/mil is doing the nation wide violation.
The "compromised" issues if finally been understood from the small developer to huge US brands crypto perspective and as junk international "standards".
Other code might be security service friendly by design as a small front company, gov fronted start up or via developers who had to make deals or had cash offers made by govs or got trapped under a US NSL at work.
Its hard to find good crypto that works. Look at the help the security services got over everyday crypto by big US brands under PRISM or VPV security under BULLRUN, Dual_EC_DRBG issues
Microsoft helped Prism decrypt your emails and Skype, says report (July 12, 2013) http://www.techradar.com/news/...
BULLRUN https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... https://securelist.com/blog/re...
"key loggers and additional data stealers." and "effectively steal disk contents"
The user seeks out the real crypto software solution.
Looking at some site, the user then finds some site GUI with a swapped out download that offers poor crypto but has the look and feel of the real crypto software.
"On the StrongPity Waterhole Attacks Targeting Italian and Belgian Encryption Users" (October 3, 2016) https://securelist.com/blog/re...
"Adding in their creative waterholing and poisoned installer tactics, we describe the StrongPity APT as not only determined and well-resourced, but fairly reckless and innovative as well."
Yes it very strange to see the code samples in the press so quickly.
Its then a rush to create a feedback loop, echo chamber, push repeaters, have sock puppet accounts flood comments.
All the US has is very early media reports by contractors who got to talk to the media about ongoing investigations.
An ip range of staging servers, time of day feels like working hours in Russia (given time zones that anytime)
Strange code litter that every contractor has a copy of and knows about but cannot prevent or detect was just left to be found.
Other press comments that make it "feel" like Russia.
The US government sees the media and repeats the Russia lines, the media picks up on officials talking to the media and repeats quotes by official gov sources.
Finally official comments have vague lines about the type of access been seen in the past as total "proof".
No government would use such methods that are already well understood by contractors. Useless methods that can be caught in real time are not good during data extraction.
The real issue is that of an insider walking out, but that has no cyber budget to spin up or upgrade spending to lobby for.

As a sheltered workshop the constant support calls keeps a lot of people working and happy fixing MS things everyday, all day.
Its strange that Apple is now the talking point been made ever so public but given the decryption demands from the USA?
Apple may have to hand over decryption in other global markets as part of ongoing UK telco access?
To catch the evil digital spies on the consumer networks that can stay so well hidden unless total decryption is arranged?
Failed in legislation try hearsay.
What does MI5 and the GCHQ know about how the bespoke Apple network that all other hackers do not?
Does Apple have some unique global network of its very own that all data can be sent and extracted without GCHQ discovery?
If inflight collecting for the US and UK was no issue, how can hacking a consumer grade US watch go undetected?
Glenn Greenwald Says NSA, GCHQ Dismayed They Don't Have Access To In-Flight Internet Communication https://www.techdirt.com/artic... (Dec 30th 2013)
"The very idea that human beings can communicate for even a few moments without their ability to monitor is intolerable."
Why did the UK not play on this ability and set up scripted meetings with the wide open Apple products left on?
Re "So, I'm begging the question, why would phones even be allowed in such a meeting?"
MI6 could have induced a new generation of "Operation Mincemeat" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... bouncing around consumer grade Apple accounts over the time Apple watches has fashion status.
Instead the UK goes full public for a few days sock puppet tech media repeating "Russia" did it and its magic Bear code in a watch? Tell the world they know who is looking and how and on what platform and how such action has been discovered and stopped?
The fun MI6 could have had with reading back fake projects, plans and fake operations.
Three UK politicians in jail get to talking.
"I am here because I always got to parliament five minutes late, and they charged me with expenses fraud," says the first.
"I am here because I kept getting to parliament five minutes early, and they charged me with spying for Russia," says the second.
"I am here because I got to parliament on time every day," says the third, "and they charged me with owning an Apple watch."
Re "Why would any cell phone be allow in a sensitive meeting for that matter?" so they can be tracked?
"VICE News Investigation Finds Signs of Secret Phone Surveillance Across London" (January 15, 2016) https://news.vice.com/article/...
"... were found at several locations in the British capital, including UK parliament, a peaceful anti-austerity protest, and the Ecuadorian embassy. "
Re " and still keep you guessing about my origin."
Given the past use of new people or new friends historically in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Been smart with an accent and origins is always wise when talking.
This will be a good thing.
The main new issue with the big social media sites is trend to "international" funding and new global ownership.
That offers international funders a say in comment policy forever changing US free speech foundations.
Why risk account closure or been reported per nation for further action by commenting on the news or any gov/mil/spy policy?
Free public comment on any topic is now been altered on huge once "free" US social media sites to avoid teams of the site's new global censorship teams.
That will be the only way around nations with no free speech or freedom after speech, expensive liable laws and religious speech tests.
Political parties, gov workers, well funded NGO's, faith groups, cults, lawyers will push for the identification of anyone who talks about political parties party or gov policy.
The most easy way is just to use a politician, celebrity account with open comments as bait and see who comments, then discover the UK ip's.
To escape that UK isp discovery use a VPN away from the EU, UK, based in a nation with free speech.
Some of communist eastern Europe had legal ideas about been liable to the state.
The UK takes that one safe step back and makes the commenter liable to the politician or to prevent unlawfully digital discussion on faith or policy or petitions.
Needing to face court with a lawyer and prove digital "freedom of speech" and request freedom after speech is very chilling:)
Anti discrimination laws been used to protect a faith or cult from public comment.
Just remember never to use the VPN in the same way as any normal UK isp account was. Never log back into the same sites with new VPN accounts or visit the same old sites later with a VPN. A new VPN and old users login with the same browser, resolution, time of day and many other details would be easy to connect as the same person.
Also a no log rule does not protect against a local court order to discover a commenter in real time.
re 'There's about 0 overlap between civilian nuclear reactors and submarine power plants."
The UK has has 3 historic nuclear issues to think about.
In the very early days it trusted the USA to share atomic work as an equal. The UK never got anything back and had to start its own expensive work.
Tube Alloys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
"The United States terminated cooperation after the war ended."
That was a huge issue that shaped the UK's thinking on ever trusting the US again for generations.
"The cost for a new nuclear submarine power plant" would be in buying US turnkey stock or a shared US platform again.
The second issue is Scotland and the one site the UK really needs to work on its subs. With the EU, calls for Scotland to alter its role in the UK again, having a new site in England is now more vital.
"Britain will lose nuclear capability for 20 years if Scotland votes for independence" (24 Oct 2012) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/new...
A new site for fuel, modern sub repair and work within England would be a new cost.
As for the overlap, recall the origins of the materials, Capenhurst Gaseous Diffusion Plant, Sellafield, Chapelcross https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., the use of the Magnox reactors. Recall how long Calder Hall was kept running for military plutonium? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Tritium from Chapelcross. Dual-purpose sites, with electric power production.
The history of the UK's thinking on power production and its military needs is very easy to find.
So now the new reactors are been considered. What new weapon designs would be needed to replace Trident? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... " One othe the public options considered was:...the UK would need to develop effective warheads for cruise missiles, which would necessitate the construction of two additional submarines to "fill the gap" between the expiration of the current fleet and the launch of an alternative cruise missile-based system in approximately 2040."
The ability to find languages, crypto, images, draft accounts been logged into and shared.
A site next door or in the same city or at the first big telco hub was not selected.
Re " or any other entity to do their bidding in this manner and some/.er has pointed this law out several times."
The ability to suggest help can be worked on:
"The Telecom Exec Who Refused to Let the NSA Spy Is Out of Prison, and He's Talking" October 1, 2013 http://motherboard.vice.com/bl...
"His was the only company to resist handing over access to customers' phone records to the NSA without permission from the FISA court."
Prevention of social engineering is often a thought.
The risk of a live mic before or after an interview. Not been pulled into a deeper conversation is often just been media aware.
A honey trap is always a risk so careful use of comments and staying on message is often wise.
re 'was remotely as sophisticated."
Recall the early "Julian Assange: 'A lot more material' coming on US elections" (July 27, 2016) http://edition.cnn.com/2016/07...
"Perhaps one day the source or sources will step forward and that might be an interesting moment some people may have egg on their faces. But to exclude certain actors is to make it easier to find out who our sources are,"
Insider walk out like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... or Watergate like help https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....
The US has a long history of insiders contacting the press, whistleblower laws and press publication protection.
Getting into any network from another nation's ip range is hard work. Staying in undetected, gathering data and then transferring it out in bulk without any discovery in real time is not safe using well understood tools that the wider public knows about.
US politics as normal, data walks the waiting press offers its full supports.
The US usually has a list that gets presented as filler deeper in the tech media.
Time zone, daytime working hours in Russia.
The ip range, someone had a staging server with an expected Russian ip range.
Thats basically it for information thats in public.
The other aspect is well understood code thats always found by contractors and then the media is told about.
The code samples and log litter is given the name "Bear"
So the public is to understand that another nation can enter the US at will, collect vast amounts of data undetected and is then totally discovered.
The discovery part is in the form of code every contractor and the media knows about and is not unexpected or new.
No protection but its fully understood by contractors. That time zone, ip range, easy to discover code is then passed around the US tech media and tech sites as evidence.
So no evidence, just ever repeating press reports that builds to a gov mention about ip ranges and having seen public "reports" in the past.

Also a no log rule does not protect against a local court order to discover a commenter in real time.
re 'There's about 0 overlap between civilian nuclear reactors and submarine power plants." ...the UK would need to develop effective warheads for cruise missiles, which would necessitate the construction of two additional submarines to "fill the gap" between the expiration of the current fleet and the launch of an alternative cruise missile-based system in approximately 2040."
The UK has has 3 historic nuclear issues to think about.
In the very early days it trusted the USA to share atomic work as an equal. The UK never got anything back and had to start its own expensive work.
Tube Alloys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... "The United States terminated cooperation after the war ended."
That was a huge issue that shaped the UK's thinking on ever trusting the US again for generations.
"The cost for a new nuclear submarine power plant" would be in buying US turnkey stock or a shared US platform again.
The second issue is Scotland and the one site the UK really needs to work on its subs. With the EU, calls for Scotland to alter its role in the UK again, having a new site in England is now more vital.
"Britain will lose nuclear capability for 20 years if Scotland votes for independence" (24 Oct 2012)
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/new...
A new site for fuel, modern sub repair and work within England would be a new cost.
As for the overlap, recall the origins of the materials, Capenhurst Gaseous Diffusion Plant, Sellafield, Chapelcross https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., the use of the Magnox reactors. Recall how long Calder Hall was kept running for military plutonium? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Tritium from Chapelcross. Dual-purpose sites, with electric power production.
The history of the UK's thinking on power production and its military needs is very easy to find.
So now the new reactors are been considered. What new weapon designs would be needed to replace Trident?

" One othe the public options considered was:
The ability to find languages, crypto, images, draft accounts been logged into and shared. /.er has pointed this law out several times."
A site next door or in the same city or at the first big telco hub was not selected.
Re " or any other entity to do their bidding in this manner and some

Prevention of social engineering is often a thought.
The risk of a live mic before or after an interview. Not been pulled into a deeper conversation is often just been media aware.
A honey trap is always a risk so careful use of comments and staying on message is often wise.
re 'was remotely as sophisticated."
Recall the early "Julian Assange: 'A lot more material' coming on US elections" (July 27, 2016)

"Perhaps one day the source or sources will step forward and that might be an interesting moment some people may have egg on their faces. But to exclude certain actors is to make it easier to find out who our sources are,"
Insider walk out like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... or Watergate like help https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....
The US has a long history of insiders contacting the press, whistleblower laws and press publication protection.
Getting into any network from another nation's ip range is hard work. Staying in undetected, gathering data and then transferring it out in bulk without any discovery in real time is not safe using well understood tools that the wider public knows about.
US politics as normal, data walks the waiting press offers its full supports.
The US usually has a list that gets presented as filler deeper in the tech media.
Time zone, daytime working hours in Russia.
The ip range, someone had a staging server with an expected Russian ip range.
Thats basically it for information thats in public.
The other aspect is well understood code thats always found by contractors and then the media is told about.
The code samples and log litter is given the name "Bear"
So the public is to understand that another nation can enter the US at will, collect vast amounts of data undetected and is then totally discovered.
The discovery part is in the form of code every contractor and the media knows about and is not unexpected or new.
No protection but its fully understood by contractors. That time zone, ip range, easy to discover code is then passed around the US tech media and tech sites as evidence.
So no evidence, just ever repeating press reports that builds to a gov mention about ip ranges and having seen public "reports" in the past.
