We have a criminal government that loves to wipe its ass with the Constitution when it's convenient for them to do so. The only time they care about the Constitution is when they want to use it to shield them when they get caught.
No one trusts the government because the government no longer cares about the citizens and their rights, and if the government wants to know why so many see them as the enemy, look in the mirror, it's how they treat the American people. Suck when you have to swallow your own medicine, doesn't it?
Agreed, if you are too lazy to open the fridge to look inside and see what you need from the store, a "smart" fridge to do your thinking for you won't really help.
Starts with You can;t pay the fine, you go to jail. You're in jail and go to your job, you don't earn any money. While in jail, they charge you to keep you in jail, your debt grows endlessly.
You can still better yourself and get a better paying job, just no free cable TV, smartphone, etc. You buy what you can afford on your income rather than living above you means. You want a better lifestyle? Do what the rest of do and EARN it.

If American citizens can;t have privacy, then neither can the government.
No excuses.
Legal does NOT equal right.
And some guy down on his luck who needs money and picks up a gun and robs people is just another excuse.
Saying "I had no choice" is a lie. It may be an unpalatable choice, but it's still a choice.
Do they have this for iPhone or Android?
I get mean. Just because you aren't Hitler himself and are merely following orders, I don't let you off off the hook....
It's amazing how many people either don't or refuse to see the slippery slope this leads to....

When the rich make the laws, that's easy to arrange

"How did Melinda Gates get her daughters interested in science?"
Answer : "Like science or you're out of the will."
After I ran out of points to upmod you with...
The only solution then is to tax the holy hell out of the rich, since they'll be the only ones with anything...
Then we have to tax the 1% at 100% to afford it all.
The current system is NOT sustainable and neither is a perpetual welfare state.

You want a better lifestyle?
