If the US tech lead over rivals is wide? The pressure is off, funding support is so/so.
If instead our lead is seen as thin? Programs (e.g. weapons) get rich funding.
Hmmmmm.....gosh I wonder:
WHY are companies funded by tax money so flamboyantly lax about tech security, huh..?
Like the whiz-bang Guangzhou engineer who mixes with NOBODY, has barrrrrely functional Engrish but somehow WILL just not rest until Hughes Aerospace hires him.
Gosh I WONDER if he’s passing our stuff off to EggFooYungLand, right? He is.
Yet Hughes and very many others KNOWS it, does nothing and WE ARE GETTING PLAYED, just as it is becoming clear that we have been getting played by the CIA for decades.
They are out for THEMSELVES, not for us, not for the flag.
Invasion sustainability REQUIRES crappy public schools.
Very many research departments don’t just hire scads of Indian and Chinese now, they DEPEND on them. As in they might not be able to “make it” without them.
The need for minds disciplined by observing a set of fixed rules, embracing those and then showing creativity in new, productive ways of working within that framework is TOTALLY UNDIMINISHED, even with the decline of union-dominated publik Skools.
The need for math & science today remains steady as before, even with US kids learning about how boys can have PERIODS, about how Plymouth Rock was all about GENOCIDE, about how Indians were all joyously, peacefully whirling around in colorful harvest festivals until acquisitive, green-fanged Christian fundamentalists arrived on-scene and STOLE it all from them, clapping them all into chains while doubled-over, laughing about it.
In order to continue, the invasion NEEDS for our kids to learn nothing in school, the better to maintain the requirement for dusky invaders with minds not raised under those demented conditions.
The right has totally ceeded the skool sistum to The Left.
