Remember when we watched and we knew all the movies, actors and actresses on the oscars all the songs, artists and bands on the music awards shows? The lefty agenda is a cancer for real. It ruins and destroys everything
Technology can not exist in absence of a means to pay for it. The reason we have television, cell phones and MRI’s is there is a HUGE population with money to pay for those things. An isolated country, like the one in the movie, would have a hard time even feeding itself, let alone creating and maintaining any exotic technology. Even if magical materials were just lying around, the economy necessary to turn them into widely used technology would not exist.
Several times I have read from eco-liberals “wouldn’t it be marvelous if half the world’s population died off?” They still see themselves living the same lifestyle, with exotic coffee, chocolate, cheap cell phones and movie entertainment. (Implicit in this fantasy is they get to choose which half.) But what they don’t understand is, their lifestyles are supported by the world’s current state. Change that state and the support for their relatively high lifestyle simply vanishes. Without a worldwide market for, say, ever smaller and more capable cell phones, nobody would spend the time and money to develop them. Perhaps the current technology would continue for awhile, but with half of, say, China’s population dead, who would repair the machinery or keep the inventory of parts to build it stocked? How big is the market with half of (presumably) America’s “poor” who provide a huge swath of that market...dead?
Great, now the CIA is joining NASA in being more focused on p.r. than on doing its job
CIA mission stuff - Not doing
CIA non-mission stuff - In process
