That is not how that works. Does somebody explain to you how banking regulation works? Well, obviously, because you are clearly completely clueless while shooting your mouth off. All too common these days.

So, banks are highly regulated. And one thing they are responsible for is protecting their users from technological and attacker-caused risks. The degree varies, but they have that responsibility basically everywhere. There is a reason that private bank customers do not get API access, for example and it is not cost. On the cost-side, banks would like if somebody else were to develop all their client-side banking software and they had no part in any of it. But here is the thing: If a bank opens up an interface to a private customer that the private customer cannot reasonably be expected to understand and that is risky to use, then the bank may well become liable for the damage done and may face additional penalties.

On a project I had a couple of Filipinos take my job. If you're in White collar work long enough it's going to happen. They couldn't really do it but the company in question didn't particularly care. I moved on to another role. But I remember one of them telling me that doing the work was better than their alternatives and they implied that their alternatives were prostitution since they were a girl...

Yep. The people taking the jobs are victims too. All so that some already rich assholes can get even richer.

Indeed. But even NuScale is a bet on mostly hot air. The thing is, the general public, and apparently most "investors" have no clue how long it takes to get complex industrial machinery from the drawing board to "works well in practice". They probably think 5 years would be long. Realistically, if we have a working, proven and economically feasible SMR design in 30 years, that would be surprisingly fast.
