Re:“Just walk out” technology by Amazon

One of my local grocery stores has these mobile scanners and I strongly prefer it. I’ll go slightly out of my way to hit this store instead. While I am loathe to give Amazon more data/consumer insight and see this as massive consolidation play, I suspect people will, once accustomed to it, totally normalize this and not look back.

I don’t think you have this right. Even if the purity of his motives could be the subject of discussion, Hamilton was one of comparstively few active abolitionists and a member of the Manumission Society. I also believe you are strongly misrepresenting his stance on democracy as generalized, as opposed to direct democracy.
