We were promised a technological future with ways to search for things of interest, find out how to get to places on a map, etc. Instead the government can now track us in our daily lives anywhere and everywhere we go 24/7. That would be great in a world where the government is of the people, by the people and for the people. However in reality they want to find us and send us to el Salvador. WTF!

Until things change, I am not buying a single electronic device. Not an iPad or a TV or an empty-tree player. This is ridiculous. And now we can't even know anything because all news is coming from the Murdocks and they just killed off NPR and PBS. This is how the bad part of the story starts.

See you all in a fire pit somewhere!

Access your bank through your web browser. And if your bank does not allow you access through your web browser, get a new bank. That's what I did.

The issue is that the web login requires their app. All major banks in my country have this requirement but I will have another look when the time for a new phone comes.

Don't use a major bank then. Use a smaller bank.
