The new movie "Cop Car".

The new movie "Cop Car" with  several notable actors is quite insightful.   It demonstrates an impasse with technology and its appropriate utilization. Children are being born everyday while our culture continues to spew out its epithets concerning its founding values. Anyone can relate to the movie if you grew up in North America in the last 48 years or so and walked home from school or attended a playground to sit on a seesaw. It demonstrates that technology is for communication and possibly also education; possibly.  It demonstrates that resources and technology can be utilized to harness under-utilized and possibly wasting human potential. But, this cannot be the new normal.  The truth is that billions of dollars are spent on remote-control planes to supervise "...a whole lotta nothin" while it only takes a few million dollars to ensure that the human potential is not only supervised but well-trained and employed as on-call park rangers or as a national guardsman watching the subways in New York as they work in a bunker some where; like Colorado. They might work at the new remote-control airplane factory, car factory or at the new casinos.  Did you know there is a free trade agreement that allows goods to  pass duty free through the various Nafta borders? Cars made at a car plant in Colorado can be shipped to Mexico without any tax burden and vice versa.   People need something to do after buying a new tablet computer made in Colorado and the government subsidizes the  company's wages.  The movie is an amazing critique of modern society and should be enjoyed by the whole family whether or not you eschew cussing. It is certainly an opportunity for reflection.  The movie also demonstrates that pilots eat food and buy Ford motor cars while remote control airplanes do not. You could put the same hi-resolution surveillance cameras in piloted airplanes and the local grocery stores and the local Marshalls will thank you; innit?
