It is very ironic that modern tech is becoming the very dogmatic and repressive regime it claims to replace.

Right now there is a big push to move all the US gov IT to the "cloud" which either means Google Cloud or AWS. What happens when a corporation possesses all our personal data? Perhaps Google's end game is a bit more political than we realize.

Oppressed turns into oppressor, you always turn into your parents, etc. Essentially when power shifts most models of proper behavior don't. Just the few that the newly-in-power disagreed with.

We should just send our tax dollars directly to Google and Amazon; the treasury will just be a middle man after a certain point.

Coming soon: AWS FOIA
