You ever consider the mega corporations, who funded his second campaign, want people so desperate to put food on the table that they won’t fight back. That these companies want corporate towns made out of infrastructure they bought dirt cheap.

I see the fall of the US like that equal to the fall of the USSR. However, I also see people out in the streets fighting this nonsense, lawyers suing to make change, and people in general showing great humanity that brings so much pride. I hate that these companies have turned us against each other for clicks and ad sales.

This is all by design so what you read online will be intuitively believed to be false. The largest source of information will no longer be doubted but rather outright ignored. Reducing informational sources so it’s easier to control what’s released to the public. It’s a means to destroy a functional democracy. How can you make informed decisions if whatever you read is fake, paid for opinions, corporate slop, or regurgitated by some llm.

All you have to look forward to are slightly better cameras every iteration, ai garbage, reduced features, and yearly price increases. Your video will be used to train models and/or sold to the highest bidder. Maybe they’ll split a feature off and make you pay more for that thing you’ve been using.

So this isn’t use of legal force because they did it. You or i do it, it’s attempted murder. Hmm, is there some training you get like an offensive driving course to make that distinction. How would you know someone has taken that course vs someone who hasn’t while they’re driving at you, wouldn’t want to shoot the wrong person.

Reolink is what I use. Fairly similar in utility and options. Prices are ok but they go on sale pretty often. Poe, solar, and battery options for power.
