I don’t disagree with your additional comments, but I don’t think they were necessary.
Just not going to get all up in arms about companies that begged for and took my money, without my say, when they were collapsing (but wouldn’t give me money if I were collapsing), having more freedoms taken from them.
You play with fire... you lay down dogs...
