Work in retail. The amount of cameras is downright dizzying. Sometimes more cameras than people.
it's funny how for a while there was the whole narrative about China being scary because they do mass surveillance, I notice western media has been largely avoiding mentioning surveillance lately
Honestly, at this point the only China/USSR bad talking pointthat comes to mind that I haven't also found in the USA is bread lines... in no small part because the government here doesn't care if you starve. If you want help jump through the hoops and be used as part of scarry statistics to demonize the poor.
They exist but the US does a pretty good job of hiding it
