Except we ain't: "Our" ballyhooed 'Military-Industrial Powerhouse' couldn't produce one month of 1944s output of planes, ships, tanks and transport vehicles, not even if they were given the entire Federal Budget.

Nope: Short of come Tom Clancy fantasy, there aren't going to be any "EOs" on such a massive restructuring of the US economy.

Mad Maxine and the Congresscritters will be in charge of this abomination.

Another scene for movie idea:

Act I: A time traveler drops ten thousand iPads on the Dunkirk evacuation beaches. When picked up, the devices start playing videos of 2023 London-istan with scrolling text of the "hate speech" laws and '15-minute-city' plans. At the end, in red on a black background:

"Now, Tommy; who do you plan to spend the next five years fighting? Your German cousins, or those who make what you just saw the reality for your Grand-children?"

Act II - ???

...and that's usually to avoid certain demographics being "under-served" and 'left behind'.

Not even in Idiocracy did the slackers dress like those 'scholars" pictured.

The center-of-gravity for genuine scientific advancement will move clear out of the "Woke, Progressive West".

We're fucked.

The only entity powerful enough to bring these DEI/ESG/WEF/Globohomo "pRiVaTe CoMpAnIeS" to heel, is the bought-and-paid-for, blackmailed 'Government'.

That's why calls to "Nationalize muh Internet", if successful would change nothing.

Typical '50s California 'planning': A monster parking lot with no storm drains.

The Oklahoma National Guard and the California Highway Patrol served as 'muscle' for the unconstitutional confiscation of firearms from high-and-dry, law-abiding citizens of New Orleans.

The use of 'out-of-towners' to enforce illegal or unpopular actions is a worldwide tactic. There's even a nice-sounding "justification": It 'prevents favoritism' and 'assures even-handed treatment'.

In other words it makes it easy on the trigger-pullers.

I'm sure this will attract the most stable, dependable "fighting force" possible.

Particularlly one conducted by a "University" that absolutely depends on staying on the good side of Government, in order to get those sweet Federal Grants.

...but if you're gonna postulate that, you have to show there was 'caloric infrastructure' (as in, a food supply-chain) to power the slaves' muscles.

Don't relax, English-speakers: When any 5-eyes country announces "research" like this, you can bet all the others are in on it also.
