Would government surveillance threaten company trade secrets and recipes. I say this because many have tried to copy, infiltrate, tresspass, buy and franchise our business. What would happen if a conflict of interest between the govt and a company. Would govt surveillance lead to many govt or associate owned businesses. Would many govt employees misuse info for personal gain. How would surveillance influence the free market. Will govt corruption increase with more surveillance.

It’s no secret America’s dependency on cheap fossil fuel resources, an abundance of other non-renewables, and an enormous agricultural hearth. The economic activities associated with these have made America undisputably the major economic player in the world… in a historical context they’ve spurred on trade surpluses and major industry… nowadays I would argue you see it’s spinoffs with a nation that has the majority of the world’s purchasing power.
What do you think America should do to conserve this? Western agricultural lands will (if they haven’t already) start drying up… underground aquifers are running low, cheap irrigation water is stretching thin. Non-renewable fossil fuels are far past their peack domestically, with world peak supply coming soon…. they will inevitably grow too expensive to have cheap transportation to market, thereby increasing prices for common consumer goods. American industries are moving to other nations to exploit cheap labour to reduce marginal costs… this is obviously hurting secondary industries at home.
This train wreck is coming in one form or another so long as America’s economy continues it’s reliance on this. What would you propose the American peopel do about the following:
1) Industrial dismantling in the US
2) Water shortages threatening agricultural lands
3) Dependence on non-native monoculture crops that ruin ecologies of certain areas.
4) Dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels (the majority coming from foreign supplies).
