Its obvious that much of the GDP is based on low aptitude/low skilled products and services (i call it fat juice and fat juice filtering, looking at buffetts investing advice). An unhealthy environment is not something to grow old with.
In the states, we can see that the illegal migration dumping is caused by the unskilled labor needed to support archaic GDP numbers.
As a technology native, I was too young to work when the H1-B economy started to spring up, but the linear from that is easy to see.
And somewhat off-topic, it looks like with the UK's PM, we get to see more of the effects that infosys played on the economy.
Businesses that outsourced gave away their whole business model is an easy conclusion, so now they all have lower quality/priced competition (obviously speculation, but plausible remains entertaining).
Looking at Walmart, I could never understand why they left their workforce in servitude, without paving the way for a future. The irony that "merica'" is filled with products from a communist country still astounds. They have no prospects for the future and supplement incomes with foodstamps and welfare.
Even quiet quitting is easy to decipher. Its an unhealthy environment.
I think protocol churn extends well past datacenters and homa, with the need for 21st century domestic protocols to remove all of the baggage from tcp/ip completely.
TCP/IP could be offshored where the undersea fiber meets the shore and setup perimeter dataedge servers as the only TCP/IP nodes on domestic boundaries.
For a domestic protocol, it does not need to be routable and saves even more overhead (I liked the tcp joke in the comments btw).
Encapsulation over a domestic protocol would still make subscriptions to a tcp/ip service available, but IMO, domestic boundaries would be better served with a modern domestic protocol.
Hypothetically speaking, if every TLD was established on its own unique protocol in the original design, Internet 1.0 would have matured much differently. Every TLD is a .com nowadays anyways, too ambiguous to be of any use (and the .org debacle still makes me laugh. They forgot what an organization was and just blended into a .com reject. That mission statement was just toilet paper after the tug-of-war).
As it turns out, one size does not fit all with protocols. Multiprotocol networks within domestic borders without tcp/ip wouldn't change any of the benefits of a data network.
