    Re 'is the party zone"
    Someone is still paying for their startup. Investing in their idea. The money invested goes to pay taxes in a party city.
    How many more years can the cost of working in a party city be hidden from investors?
    Before investors work out they can get the same quality with the same level of education in other cites?
    A diploma mill that graduates everyone on demographics will not provide the results expected. With Honors just for attending.
    The smart money is going to work out what was paid for with their investments.
    Unless the city gets federal funding to pay people to stay and invest? That would be a neat trick. A city in full bankruptcy that everyone is ok with as it that keeps federal funds flowing?

    Re "This idiocy confirmed it."
    Canon is what keeps fans returning to an old series. Change that and people find a new series. Go back to old classics.
    Want a new totally new series with a modern plot? Create a totally new science fiction show and populate with new roles as needed in 2018.
    The new series will be accepted or not.
    Totally altering an existing series is not going to create a new show and fans will notice the needed deep plot change.

    Selling paper insulated wireline to everyone wanting a new network in 2018 to meet federal NN rules is not an attractive network AC.

    Not that low between some states. Now that new solar and wind projects have to be allowed to sell into the market.
    Some parts of the USA can still win on more attractive power prices.
    Other parts just want to tax everything to cover more and more social projects.

    Its all about making a city more attractive to invest into. Less tax, less cost to get power connected. Less cost of power over the years. A better quality of supply and no strange pricing structure to support changes to supply from wind, solar.
    Lots of considerations than an average of "dirt cheap" in the past. When investing lot of local costs and changes to politics can change that ability to invest and stay in that part of the USA.
    Why pay for "dirt cheap" power in one state when another might offer 1/2 the cost of "dirt cheap" due to better understanding of what industry really needs. Its all in asking questions and looking what every city can offer.
    Why invest to pay endless new taxes, for permits and then risk more tax?

  16. That would make domestic collection all over the USA illegal. Some color of law must exists to make it all legal.
    No human will listen in the future. Thats the way around the laws. The data set is the word spoken converted into text. The text transcript is searched and thats not illegal as no humans listened.
    Other data sets get the same transforming real time collection.
    OCR the screen image for words. Keep the maths of every face in the image for recognition. Maths that can be turned back into the image again when needed.
    That gets past the Church Committee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and US domestic laws.
    The other way is to affirm the person has any type of international connection. 6 hops or more as needed and thats totally legal.

    1. Education. Make sure your city has education thats about merit not demographics. Ensure everyone who is educated passed on merit.
    Pass that exam and have workers ready for brands. Brands should not have to accept workers with no education and then support people who cannot do the work set.
    2. Highway upgrades. Make sure road, rail, ports are ready for imports and exports. A good new paved road that can support transport sets a local government apart from many in the USA. New roads for exports and so new equipment can be moved in.
    3. Power costs. Dont make power expensive. Power costs are what keeps a brand. Find a way to reduce power costs and have power that works 24/7.
    Not just when the sun is up, the wind is at a set speed. A 24/7 power supply.
    Power working 24/7 at a cost lower than most of the USA.
    4. Law and police. So the engineers, academics and investors feel happy in your part of the USA. No crime and enjoy more investment.
    5. Clean up your city. Clean roads. Clean streets. Nice well educated people. Nice shops, good food. No drugs, no crime, no tent city, no years of parked RV.
    No political tensions, no city permits for riots stopping workers from getting to work. No blocking the free flow of transport and workers for hours.
    6. Be open to building the best internet the US can offer. Don't back NN and expect to build a network for everyone. Build the fast internet for new business use.
    Ensure parts of your city win in US internet speed rankings.
    As other parts of the USA catch up, make networking in your city more attractive again.
    7. Find out what early incubators want. Low cost power, a good university that can offer educated workers. Fast internet . Nice food, nice gym, no crime areas to live in.
    Things to do for fun. Walks, sport, trails, art, history, food, internet. Make sure its some of the best in the USA and ensure no crime.
    8. Fund your police every year. Attract the best police from other parts of the USA. Pay the police very well and ensure their wages go up every year. Clean up your city. Stop the city from attracting drugs, crime. Hire police only on merit and the skills they bring not demographics. Don't hire new police from other failed cities.
    Give the police the tech, laws and support they need to keep the city safe for all.
    9. Rent. Make sure poor people can get from their low cost dwellings to work. Look after wealthy areas, middle class and low rent areas as different parts of a city. Each part of the city is safe and productive with working services. Don't try and move poor people into areas with rent they cant afford. They will just need more city money to look after.
    10. Use city money to keep the city working. Collecting tax should pay for improvements. Paying to support a person in a part of the city they cant afford to rent in is not a cost a city can keep supporting. Look after poor people in low rent parts of the city. Control spending so the tax rate brings in brands escaping the cities that demand high tax rates to support their huge spending on new social programs.
    11. Tell the USA about your city. Low crime. Educated workers. The best police. Fast internet with a low cost and working power connection.
    Clean streets and clean water. Paved roads. Poor people getting the support they will always need in parts of the city they can afford.
    No having to worry about NN for everyone if a new network is needed. Community internet is supported all around the city. The city will not say no to any good new network design.

    12. Study the states and city govs that have failed all over the USA. The crime, the drugs, the supporting of poor people and their cost of rent.
    Cities with tents and parked RV and a police force that wont enforce laws. Cities supporting non citizens who should not be getting any city services.
    Study the city tax rate that makes brands look at other parts of the USA. Dont let your city become like all the other failed cities.
