Since I don't live in AZ, I'm okay with Arizonians voluntarily being guinea pigs. When bot-car co's get the kinks out via real world trial-and-error, my state then can have the benefits without the possible high accident rate of new tech.
I just hope Arizonians are not hypocrites such that they don't panic and rant if there are too many accidents. I will even solute the Arizonians who sacrificed their lives so mine can be better as I step into my first ever bot-car ride. Thank You, oh brave flatties of AZ!
If Google doesn't build their Censor-A-Matic, some other non-US company will likely fill that niche. How is that better? The Chinese gov't will get their desired censorship engines one way or another because they want it and they control China.
Let's not confuse trade issues with espionage issues. There is some overlap, but even if we had fully balanced trade (no trade deficit), industrial and military espionage would still happen on a similar scale.

All your stupid consumer habit trackers successfully do it and know what size underwear I buy and where I buy it.
It's pretty unlikely that they'll be so foolish as to remove someone who just saved them a lot of money
That assumes companies are rational. There's a saying: "Dilbert is a documentary, not a cartoon." Many managers treat their group as a fiefdom and want it to grow in importance and staff. If automation makes their group look trivial, they may invent reasons to fire or move the "perpetrator". You have to view it from the manager's position in the organization, not from overall balance sheets. The overall balance sheet may have little impact on a manager's standing in the org.
That being said, I've seen multiple organizations where their reporting and searching/querying systems are a combinatorial mess. With better built query-by-example forms, refactoring, and export to Excel (CSV) options; one can often simplify many of those and reduce the number of screens and reports to roughly 30% of the original count. (You do have to know the org fairly well to do it properly.)
Such combinatorial redundancy is a mistake programmers keep making for some reason. I don't know if it's an intentional job-security game, or they don't know any better because they never have seen it done right.
Just because it was the Wild West 200 years ago doesn't mean it has to stay that way. There's many more people here (for good or bad). Stone age man became bronze age man.
The economy is running hot right now such that most products are selling above average.
(Since it's likely to come up, as far as the political credit for the economy, the "tax-cut stimulus" did help, but also jacked up debt. It's counter-Keynesian, which is bad my book. Pay down debt during up-times and save the stimuli for slumps.)

Thank you for confirming my point.

It can be both. For example, learning Windows support gives you muscle memory for Ctrl+Alt+Del

If you can invent a practical and accurate objective test for that, please do. We all want such.
Otherwise people tend to hire clones of themselves.

Blame? Not entirely, but they contribute to an already bad problem. Just because it's already bad is not a license to make it worse.
Crap, I've been outed.
It's not just the existence of debt that bothers me, it's the anti-plan the administration has to deal with it: Reverse Keynes.
It appears to be caused by three factors:
1. Higher interest rates make auto loans more difficult
2. Uber/Lyft
3. Newer cars last longer, so replacement rates have slowed
Yes, the stuff Jiiina does.
Messing with elections is one thing, but messing with Star Wars is going way too far.
It may be like when Scientology purchased tons of "Dianetics" books to get on the best-seller lists. (Ok, allegedly, don't come after me, please.)
