32 year old toaster works just fine without Big Brother. I wash dishes by hand. Stove, fridge, washer and drier are the old style with not fancy buttons to break and go wrong. Have an old flip phone not connected that only makes phone calls but guess those are somehow monitored. Bottom line, what Big Brother knows about me is mainly from FR and my electronic vote for Trump.
:) My bottom line is very similar in content to yours.
