Well Richard, it's high time! I'll be bundling up all my bills and
taxes, and sending them along to you. Just pay them all and return to
me the Paid receipts.
Finally, my government is doing something for me.
Now I begin to understand why Donald Trump loves America so much.
Carl Jarvis...on my way to the top!

That reminds me of the book I recently finished, The Age of Surveillance
Capitalism. The author's point is that every time you do a search on
Google, or post on Facebook, or look on Amazon, you inadvertently provide
information to whichever big tech company is involved, which it then
sells to its customers, which are other companies. There is nothing that
you do which isn't monetized in some way. When you sign a user agreement
for a piece of software, you are being coerced, because there's no choice
involved.

Subject: [blind-democracy] Still think big brother isn't watching?
Yesterday morning Cathy went to a link that promised to provide
information showing how to secure low cost health coverage. She looked at
the web page and said that she was not about to provide them with the
personal information they requested. So she closed the site.
About an hour later the phone began to ring. It was in response to her
"request" for information. We disconnected and hardly went back about our
business when the phone rang again. We have caller ID, so most of our
calls are identified both on a screen and by voice. After counting 20
calls from companies wanting to help us, we lost count.
This morning at 8:01 A.M. the phone began to ring. So far I've only had 3
calls in 20 minutes.
So, how is it that merely opening a web page connects someone to an army
of predators? And just how many eyes and ears are quietly taking in our
every word? Big Brother? No, it's far, far bigger than that.
I wonder, is Donald Trump really building a Wall to keep folks out?
Or will that wall really keep us in our Prison of the Formerly Free?
Carl Jarvis , learning once again that there are more eyes and ears than
those of the little forest friends, tracking our every move.
