One of the best things about watching this movie get really rolling is going to be the schadenfreude for us people in flyover & southern states.
All the assholes in NYC, Chicago and California are overdue for a giant, beatdown, ego check. The rest of us are sick and damn tired of being marginalized like some kind of giant afterthought.
Fame is so fleeting:

Wouldn't it be great to see more celebs get acquainted with real life? You know, with bills and jobs and responsibilities? I want to know the last time some of the elite cranked a lawnmower.
HA!!
Pretty sure it's going to be an organic result of the overall happening, whether or not it pisses you off.
Have a great day!

EXCLUSIVE-Chief U.S. spy catcher says China using LinkedIn to recruit Americans
by Reuters
Friday, 31 August 2018 10:00 GMT
WASHINGTON, Aug 31 (Reuters) - The United States' top spy catcher said Chinese espionage agencies are using fake LinkedIn accounts to try to recruit Americans with access to government and commercial secrets, and the company should shut them down.
William Evanina, the U.S. counter-intelligence chief, told Reuters in an interview that intelligence and law enforcement officials have told LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft Corp., about China's "super aggressive" efforts on the site.
He said the Chinese campaign includes contacting thousands of LinkedIn members at a time, but he declined to say how many fake accounts U.S. intelligence had discovered, how many Americans may have been contacted and how much success China has had in the recruitment drive.
German and British authorities have previously warned their citizens that Beijing is using LinkedIn to try to recruit them as spies. But this is the first time a U.S. official has publicly discussed the challenge in the United States and indicated it is a bigger problem than previously known.
Evanina said LinkedIn should look at copying the response of Twitter, Google and Facebook, which have all purged fake accounts allegedly linked to Iranian and Russian intelligence agencies.
U.S. officials said China's Ministry of State Security has "co-optees" - individuals who are not employed by intelligence agencies but work with them - set up fake accounts to approach potential recruits.
They said the targets include experts in fields such as supercomputing, nuclear energy, nanotechnology, semi-conductors, stealth technology, health care, hybrid grains, seeds and green energy.
Chinese intelligence uses bribery or phony business propositions in its recruitment efforts. Academics and scientists, for example, are offered payment for scholarly or professional papers and, in some cases, are later asked or pressured to pass on U.S. government or commercial secrets.
About 70 percent of China's overall espionage is aimed at the U.S. private sector, rather than the government, said Joshua Skule, the head of the FBI's intelligence division, which is charged with countering foreign espionage in the United States.
"They are conducting economic espionage at a rate that is unparalleled in our history," he said.
