I am amazed at the number of people who have given up their information willingly just to buy a product online and such. I don’t even give out my phone number at stores when they ask.
We are being track everywhere we go. License plate readers, cell phones, hundreds of cameras between your house and any destination, every purchase you make using a card, etc... Our ancestors lived in an open country where you could come and go as you please and the genie is out of the bottle and will never be put back in.
The dumbing down of our country is coming home to roost.
Like Crows the species has been brainwashed into collecting and showing off new “shiny stuff” to attract mates and societal display status. They can’t live without them because the TV and internet told them they can’t live without them. They will do anything including trample over each other to be the first to own new shiny stuff. Their subconscious is very easily manipulated.
