Hate to break it to you, but you are not Google's customer. Don't believe me? How much did you pay for Chrome?

This move is in fact being made with their actual customers in mind.

Probably the closest thing you can get to in terms of a "privacy" credit card. Everything about a credit card is tied to you by their very nature. So it depends on what or who you want privacy from.

Someone else mentioned privacy.com which I also use - it's good if you want to hide your transaction from the credit card company, or if you want to hide your identity from the merchant. But Privacy.com is more like a virtual debit card that connects to your bank account. Privacy.com still knows who you are.

It never ceases to amaze me how they mock Joe for speaking gibberish but then this seems to make complete sense to them.

Don't underestimate him. He may sound like an idiot to us, but we aren't his target audience. He doesn't care what we think of him. He knows what his cult wants to hear and he's plenty happy to chum the water to get them in a frenzy.

You are in a coma. We're trying a new technique to communicate with you. We aren't sure where or when this message will appear to you. You've been in a coma for 20 years. Please wake up. We miss you.

The fun thing about this is that we have evidence that this is how our reality works. The double slit experiment showed that particles change their behavior when observed. (Gross oversimplification and only under very specific circumstances but still extremely fascinating.)

Yes, but not even close to as much as the alternative.

And then the concept of "too big to fail" was born.

There's a reason scam artists target the elderly. If a box on the computer screen says "put payment info here" then who are they to argue with the box?

That's a good question. But keep in mind that there are significant taxes associated with selling a home in most places that would dissuade landlords from trying to game the system that way. Then again, they're just one more loophole from making that plan work.

Imagine having that much of an issue with barely offensive words that their kids will never read because most don't use the school library anyway.

And imagine letting your kids come home and access whatever media they want including actual pornography on the internet. Most of these parents have zero clue how to block internet sites on their home computers and laptops let alone the phones that their kids all have.

But of course, that's another problem some parents are asking the government to solve by forcing porn sites to require visitors to affirmatively identify themselves and their age. Of course, that only applies to the major porn sites that play by the arbitrary rules anyway. All so stupid.
