The sun just rose here as well, as I read this... I guess Donald's
powers are weaker than he thinks.

Sounds to me you're just geeking out about Social Media That's totally
fine. It's pretty cool- or can be.. Keep in mind only certain Geeks
are likely to know about or even want to use GitHub for example.
And your (somewhat) preaching to the quire. Or at least the Trouble
and Bass part.
Not everyone wants to resort to FaceBook chat just to say hi. Some
want to talk on that thing you routinely want to chuck off your roof:
Da Phone. I know well the aholery of robodialers, as does everyone.
Personally I screen my calls as nomorefobo doesn't (yet) like CyberMesa.
Their's draw backs to offshoring and the way "Globalism" is going.;
I had a (infamously) problematic issue with Googles Wallet. They sent
me to India (where google has some it's tech support) They just didn't
know what the issue was. Problem: Wouldn't it be a good thing for
google (for example) to have decen number of people in irvine and
mountain view to be good ol fationed skunks such. For one: what if
something goes wrong? Some off shored out fits simply can't (or won't
) fix issues though.
A lot of places are mis-using tech and globalism " ". Go to Smiths.
Self check out( for example): Why don't they hire a few more dudes for
that?
Google: Everything is beta, and might not work..
Comcast
TSA
Etc.
On the brighter side: OMFG voice-to-text! YAR Why didn't I use that
sooner?
Facebook(sort of) is useful and fun to chat with some of my friends
Or a quick check in about meetups. I'm part of several global clubs.
Some do fucking awsome work in their areas.
I suspect Dad's Smarmy side is geeking out about That Person. I know
not where this flare up of domestic and global Drama will lead.
No place good i'd imagine.
Ask not for trouble. Ye shalt get it.
In the meen time check out the sunrse it is super pretty, and the sky
is wonderfully clear. Let us hope warm sunny weather is soon.

If the activity is commercial, then one could imagine that new
protectionist policies could make it harder for you to perform
financial transactions with your collaborators. You may instead
be incentivized to work with domestic collaborators even if they
are inferior or less appropriate. You could try to sidestep the
issue with Bitcoin, but then you are taking legal risks.

With all our concerns about Trump, and the article on 8 European
populist .. 10 if you include US and Brexit
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/12/05/world/europe/populism-in-age-of-trump.html

.. I oddly got thinking about "our" kind of globalism: the Friam &
WedTech lists, and open source Open Source Software and global
communication.
I daily chat with pioneers in tech fields, most of whom are not in
my state or even my country .. if I can call it mine any more. And
we get along just fine and the whole is greater than the some of
its parts.
I use GitHub to ask for an improvement in a software library. I
use twitter to ask a question of a technologist. I store my data
world wide, often which moves to be closer to the consumer. There
are no walls, and there is a lot of cooperation. My world I guess
is not Populist.
I don't think that can be easily broken, but certainly Northern
Korea has done it, as have some others. US?
Don't most of us have the same experiences: Travel, co-workers,
global facilities and so on? That at least is a ray of hope.
