The Silent #Peavey Plant: How #America’s #WorkingClass #Amp Empire Was #Outsourced

What's your take? LLM generated?

At first, I thought it sounded like the host of another #history ch. I looked at the ch info. It's from 2015. Only one other video besides the current batch. One ~45min per day over the last 3wks. I know it's typical for netcasts to record several episodes & release before doing a big promotion so, it's possible these were all done within the last year & maybe the unseen host does not have a dayjob.

This video is a slide show. It sounds like a few lines were spliced in after a first take.

I would’ve thought that the Justice system, the third pillar of democratic govt, was too critical to ‘outsource’ and definately not a branch of government that ought to have any of its functions #Privatised and milked for ‘#Profits’ . It’s bad enough that the legal profession is privatised leading to wealth being a determinent in the quality of legal representation one is afforded in Court and hence better legal outcomes for those represented, but Court functions #outsourced to #PrivateEnterprises should never occur. All Court processes ought to remain fully under govt funding and appropriate publicly-owned services IMO.

This case is an yet example of #StateTheft and #StateCapture brought to you by the ‘debunked’ #NeoLiberal order. The #Grifters are getting into all aspect of our democracy in order to feather their own nest and enslave the rest of us a la #Fascist #America and its #tRumpAdministration.

Working in the #trades has never been *that* "uncool" amongst young people - even when I was a teen, and its not surprising these careers may seem more appealing as University fees rise, and remaining entry level office jobs that haven't been #outsourced disappear due to #AI .

what the article doesn't mention is the poor pay for #apprentices, potential toxic work environments and precarity of work when starting out - at least the tools from #Draper targeted at new starters seem both affordable and decent quality

Don’t let the #battlefield optics fool you - #America’s overall national #security has been harmed

#Pentagon’s Defense Science Board bluntly stated it has no confidence any major #military #weapons system using #cyber capabilities is secure.

Major reason for that lack of confidence is that America #outsourced our national security to #China
