I remember fall of 2001 at the Mizzou/Texas game, sitting out the anthem in protest and being threatened by people around me. Every damn one of them was a-okay with this for two decades.
It is nice to see public sentiment finally turning against mass surveillance, though. We’ll see if it lasts more than one election cycle.
If they agree iot’s either bad for us, or sounds good but probably won’t change anything.
Like the ROAD act that had such overwhelming bipartisan support, and sounds like a great idea, but the limits set to cub venture capital and private equity are pointless when FinCEN databases are being purged and corporate ownership no longer needs to be tracked.
And we get something good, like Biden’s infrastructure program, but it ends up not going to fix crumbling roads and bridges that keep falling down or build rail infrastrructure we need, but to put up millions of ALPRs linked to shady corporations who spy on us and hand out all that data without a warrant to anyone from ICE to a data broker to a random hacker trying to steal your identity.
Facts. One of the areas where Dems/Reps always agree is that your civil liberties are theirs to trample on at will.
So much bullshit has been enacted in the name of national security or safety.
Yeah. :(
