2. Not what I was trying to say

"Turn the channel" ... "Don't use the service" ... nothing to see here .... RETAIL, the master of us all, consumerism, the funeral pyre of capitalism.

I use tech as a tool and as a tool it is wonderful. But don't discount the harm .... it just about brought the world another authoritarian monster to rule from the most powerful nation in the world, so no, I don't think this needs to be glossed over. Retail, been there, done that, no big intellectual secret as to how they work or how the fuck they work the hell out of their employees with no benefits, low pay and lousy hours.
