Abolish the Party system 50+1=100 is a horrible way to legislate. Reader, biker, hiker, photographer, gardener and artist. Not necessarily in that order.🇺🇸

So…? Since all the utilities are installing remote reading smart meters for billing, and will no longer need trucks and personal to read meters, our bills will be reduced because of their cost savings. Right?
Or more likely, just like paperless billing for purchases and billing from government, they instead tack on a fee for using paperless billing?
So, I went to an Agatha Christie play "Murder on the Orient Express" that some actors had a foreign accent (French) Great play, but could have used closed captioning.
There was a time when I carried the world on my shoulders. Now I just leave the baggage behind and enjoy the walk.

⚠️ In yet another example of ALPR mission creep...
First they told you it was for stolen cars.
Now they're using license plate readers to verify where families live so their kids can attend school.
This is how surveillance always expands:
One "justified" use at a time.
Anyone else irritated that you now have to get an X.com log in code on email to use on your laptop? I have a user name and password, that was always adequate.
My insurance now requires that I use @cvspharmacy for my prescription drugs.
I had to leave my old pharmacy where the pharmacist greeted me with a smile, Asked me my name and date of birth, walked over to get my prescription, smiled as i paid, asked if I had any concerns or questions and said have a great day.
My CVS Pharmacy, sends me a text that has a link where I have to enter date of birth and close multiple adds and come on's for CVS
I then go up to the CVS Pharmacy counter where their are 8 people not smiling, but none at the pickup counter. One women tells me to fill in the screen on a screen keyboard with name, date of birth, phone number, and verify my CVS card for targeted coupons.
I then stand there till someone decides to wander over and look at the screen and get my prescription. I then pay and get a receipt and forced have a nice day without a smile.
No personal connection, no humanity, just a transaction like we're an annoyance to their robotic movements behind the counter.
I hate CVS and since they own all facets of the industry, I am a slave to their system.

"We have cameras everywhere in that town and you cannot get a breath of fresh air without us knowing"
When police are admitting this out loud, it's time to admit the cage isn’t coming, we're already inside it.

This is Donna…she traveled to Washington D.C. at her own expense to represent Massachusetts at @Freedom250 Great American Fair. Please stop by and let her know how much she is appreciated. Can we get some press for Donna? @FoxNews @Brick_Suit @libsoftiktok @OANN

LISTEN: Jacob Rockwell was fined for running a red light in Pensacola, Florida.
Only thing is Jacob wasn’t in Florida, he was in Alabama.
He sounded off at a local city meeting recently and his concerns go beyond just one citation.

Wealthy parents are going to start sending their kids to "low tech" private schools while working class kids are going to be handed tablets filled with ed tech and AI. Writing by hand and turning in paper assignments will become the new upper-class cultural symbol.
Kids in Lower Merion school district in Pennsylvania get iPads starting in kindergarten, switch to Chromebooks in second grade and get their own MacBooks in eighth grade. Hundreds of parents signed a petition asking to preserve their ability to opt their children out of using digital devices during the school day. The school district has pushed back, saying it’s not feasible to let hundreds of students opt out of technology that is essential to the curriculum.
