Thanks, Tainan. The writer’s a Hillsdale College graduate, eh? Interesting. Yes, there was some hyperbole for getting attention but a lot of truth in the piece, just the same.

Here’s my opinion. I don’t see any one conspiracy that envelopes all, but there are many small conspiracies. Always have been. Some people like money more than others, and control over others can be used to get money.

Most good people like to have privacy. If their privacy is violated in certain ways (e.g., communications with friends, acquaintances, family), they’ll recede and turn their sympathies against the constituents and companies behind the ostensible invaders.

Besides, revenues are already declining, and folks can’t be paid from debt indefinitely. IMO, there will be privacy and other freedoms. And it’s going to be rough (poor, as in poverty). Consumerism is already taking a long, slow punch because of invasive, time-wasting activities of busybodies.

What do you think about all of this?
