I lived in Seattle 25 years ago, and still remember the local rag ( Seattle Times ) describing the Seattle workforce : "...  they are as productive as ants ..." . With a classical East-Coast education I was naturally horrified. Evidently  nothing has changed in  coastal Washington State.  Having lived in Spokane also, I know eastern Washington people mostly poach with Remingtons, not AI.

You  advise suffering; making  networked computer use as difficult as getting a drivers license. I do not see that as a step for'ard. Of-course I have spent the last three days getting two Linux boxes enabled on the  sketchy local WiFi.  Inexpert? Yep. Twenty years ago getting my Florida drivers license took 2 hours at DMV. YMMV.

The AI-stooges on slash-dot surely attack KARMA(=0) for anyone opposing their utopian/mercantile fantasy. Perhaps the chief moderators ought to remove mod-power from those systematically attacking 3rd-rail commentators. I mean .. they could hand-off the task to an AI assista... Oh wait ...

Actually this post is a brilliant comment on the costs of success; a dystopian future.  For a practical example one need only look at Pre/Post WW2 American government  to see the corruption of (re)publican principles ( becoming like the collectivist Nazi/Stalin ansatz ) required for victory. Whomever modded this post zero (0) needs to look thoughtfully at their foundation assumptions.

No need for your  oh-so-fragil BLOCKCHAIN crap when paper and quality American-made pencils  remain  readable immediately and in a century.  Freaks who try burning P&P based votes may be shot, while byte-boi hackerz  anonymously eat-thru purposefully weakened software structures;  every soft-ware structure.  So the prudent voting structure is based on well-tested  10-K year-old technology.  Better than inscribed glass ? No, but one always compromises quality and cost.

As you say ..."The US government considers the US populace it's biggest threat and enemy." That's true whether the post-mod elected leaders are MAGA/Republican/socialist/globalist. (re)publican/democratic ideals take 3rd place to power & financials. As a LeastLastLowest student-of-history I observe  well-maintained cultures solving this conflict by explicit civil war -- classical Athens , Napolionic France etcetc --. I thought we'd have one back in the 1960s when  Fed Courts kidnapped Missouri K-12 schools; didn't happen then. But, with recent assassinations/attempts I can see a government with "plausible deniability" ... and a repeat of  1850s BLOODY KANSAS.
