    …home and they'll supposedly need "#jobs". Destroy #electricityGrids and #DataCenters (aka #theInternet) and voila. Jobs for vets – at home and abroad.

    They say nothing motivates people to work as #slaves like #war does.

    This also, conveniently, would motivate the rollout of superfast wireless networking systems. We know #Amazon made their #EchoSpeakers and #Doorbells public recently. A test case for a #corporateControlled meshnet?
