I honestly am hating the amount of unnecessary information being collected by all these types of big corporations all over the place.
Who's idea is it to jam all this surveillance tech into a store just to see my buy a expired box of Twinkies?
Jeremy. That fucker.
It's been unnecessary for a long time. It's to make sure we know we are being watched. It's 1984. That's my conspiracy that hasn't been proven wrong, yet. After covid. We got too many better jobs. More free time. The tech bros saw this and with the current billionaire administration, said "absolutely fucking not." So ice, police state, constant visible surveillance. It's 1984 but they need us to comply.
Almost like some sort off 'food code' or 'foo-co' but make it French so its all fancy-like. How would you spell that?
