''Mass privatization soon led to an economic boom, which in turn, led to subsequent tax breaks for augmented workers needed to help build the new infrastructure. There were a few voices of dissent: occasionally, non-augmented citizens accused the government of catering to corporate interests over national ones, or attempted to demonstrate against the fast-tracking of visas and work permits for foreign augmented workers.
