Bezos and Amazon own Whole Foods. They’re tracking us. I can’t go any damn site without seeing ads for amazon for stuff I searched for. Facebook and Google are in on it. It’s draining the money of Americans who are gullible to spending on stuff they don’t need.

Bezos owns Washington Post, which spits out fake news on the regular. Zuckerberg’s Facebook censors conservatives and is essentially a fake news aggregator. Google’s algorithms on YouTube censors conservatives. I can literally search for a conservative channel’s videos and I’ll see a reaction video by the Young Turds (pr0g darlings of YouTube) before I see the one I literally searched for.

This is what all young people see. Young Millennnials and Gen Z don’t watch news channels. They get it online.

The answers are in Antarctica.

I refuse to get Tesla smart car. I don’t trust people like Musk having a tracking device on where I go.

Raging against the machine aside, I would be interested in a study that quantified the impact of improving price driscimination on rising wealth inequality.

In theory, perfect price discrimination allows producers to absorb all of the consumer surplus that would exist under a single price model. So if these big tech firms can utilize the troves of data out there to move even a fraction of the way towards perfect price discrimination, it effectively would wipe out huge chunks of consumer wealth.

Your cell phone is doing it 247 and listening to your conversations for keywords...

Advertisers are trying to sell you items that you're shopping for?

Oh the horror!

The real shitty thing is that they make money by collecting data of your habits by selling it to advertisers.

We sorely need legislation on this front but politicians aren’t even considering it.

Yup. Companies are openly doing this. Whether they’re telling the truth about the extent to which they’re doing this is another question.

Does that mean you also don't use Amazon, Google, Facebook, or YouTube?
