        They killed a health insurance CEO. Nothing materially changed. They tried to kill Trump several times. Nothing materially changed.

          It changed something - approval rates for a while were much higher. After they found out that it was a lone incident, it went back to the business as usual.

          So every part of it is true. It works, and you must not stop until it’s worked out in its entirety.

          Not true. In the wake of the health care CEO’s execution, approvals not only increased in his company, but other health care companies as well. Thousands of people were helped who would have been cheated otherwise.

          They’ve gone back to their old ways, which only proves that a CEO needs to be executed at random every 6 months or so, until they’ve made proper behavior a positive habit.

      It’s funny they even do anything about it at this point. It’s not like they’re ever going to be put out of business

    I think the plan at this point if you catch some asshole wearing smart glasses. You walk up to the biggest dude around and tell him that the guy is recording his kids or wife with his glasses being creepy.

        True enough the idea is to be long gone by the time something goes down. I’m not saying I would scream in a crowed but just quietly walk up and tell father/husband. I mean if wasn’t being creepy why would he be wearing a hidden camera bon his face.

          You do you but just remember that we live in a society chock full of surveillance. Running away isn’t a guarantee that you won’t be caught. They can track your phone, your face, or your car with very little effort on their part.

          So maybe don’t incite people to violence for a tech device. Just go punch him yourself if you’re so inclined.

    One memo reportedly described releasing it during a “dynamic political environment,” when privacy and civil liberties advocates would be distracted.

    This line says it all…

    I don’t own any smart glasses, but people’s hatred of them is weird. Every time you leave your house or apartment you’re being recorded by people’s doorbell cams, security cams, anyone holding a phone vertical could be filming you, and you can’t tell. And that’s not even getting into the actual hidden cameras that are so cheap and easily accessible these days.

    You wanna get worked up about some guy with a camera in his goofy looking glasses?
