Fair! I intended to have it in the original post but it didn't take. Likely my error.

Imagine if we redirected that 17.6 billion to programs that would benefit actual breathing people in the US in actual need?
Sounds legit to me in my 50s now. I would add probably not having a large music label backing you and not giving a fsck about that either.
I guess the shame and expense Sony learned the hard way in 2005 has faded and now kernel invasion has become acceptable.
We had a CVS Pharmacy location near me that decided to leave that location. Self checkout there was based on assuming everyone was a thief. All their wounds were self inflicted. Almost everything was locked up and you could never find someone to get your item for you. The genius management thought it was going to help profitability by deterring theft. Instead it was a deterrent to willing and eager customers wanting to buy their stuff. When you step over a dollar to get to a dime, your business is on borrowed time.
You have good energy. Consider adding every other religion to your Dr. Seuss comparison. Religion has poisoned geopolitics for far too long.
It does seem like it hovers around 50 percent but there are other factors. Some of that 50 percent knows how to manipulate the brain challenged for their own personal or political benefit. Others might have the capacity to use logic and reason but were raised not to. Or are so stubborn and righteous that they seek only validation to confirmation bias.
I heard Texas has a ballot initiative to change the state's name to Republic of Gilead
I'm just of the general opinion that any personal data you entrust to any corporation is going to be at risk - regardless of it's assurances. There's also a risk of that corporation being legitimately acquired by another thus nullifying previous TOS, etc. Or worse case, they sell all your info anyway. Connected technology is moving quickly. What might seem safe to share today could become the basis of an insurance claim denial when they discover a genetic predisposition they believe you were obligated to disclose.
Don't on tread me
Is telling someone to “disperse” a lawful order? That’s news to me. Standing in public spaces is our legal right and can’t be deemed unlawful until we actually break the law. Then it’s a law enforcement issue as anything else. Otherwise the police could arbitrarily tell anyone to move with no reasonable articulable suspicion that any crime was afoot.
