Ocasio-Cortez's Climate Genius Stroke: Her #GreenNewDeal Is the Most Serious Response to the Crisis Yet.

The militarist asked the US military for plans to attack Iran.

The reason why you can only buy "smart" (read "spy") TVs nowadays is that the TV itself is sold at a break-even price. The profit on them comes from selling products to the users and from spying on them. If they sold non-"smart" TVs, they would have to charge more.

If I wanted a TV set, I would definitely pay extra to get one that could not spy on me. Indeed, I would refuse to have a "smart" TV at all, unless I knew I could block it from communicating anything about my activities. (That would convert it into a mere appliance, and I would not need to care what is inside it.)

The same applies for a cable box; but I can imagine that a cable box requires a contract I would consider immoral and thus refuse to sing.

I don't in fact want those things, because they would lead me to waste time. As a child, I was a TV addict. I cut it off cold-turkey when I went to college.

US citizens: support the Green New Deal.
