College student debt, or social safety nets are not the reason for the lack of industrialization in the US. The real culprits are the greedy speculators and financialists who turned the economy into a casino.

Oligarchs like Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Peter Theil are fronts for the spook state. They owe most of their wealth to military surveillance contracts.

Unfortunately, the voracious ruling elite are not happy with 99% of all wealth and want every last drop--100%. In order to accomplish this objective they would need to demolish the last vestiges of democracy and introduce a technocratic neofeudal surveillance state. In fact, many of the strategies deployed by China would be implemented in the US.

It should be noted, that it doesn't matter what political party you support--Repubs or Dems the outcome will be the same. Techno/fascist billionaires and trillion dollar asset management firms are determined to make neofeudalism great again.

Charlotte, unfortunately, "a technocratic neofeudal surveillance state" (I love your phrase!) already exists with recording and filing of content written online, IP addresses, the internet of things, "smart" meters spying on everybody, and traffic light cameras that violate our in-car privacy.

The people behind this are psychopathic voyeurs control freaks who need to be put legislatively in their place.
