We want our 401k's to continue to grow, we like investing in the stock market (for those who can), but we don't like the intrusion of privacy.

We want opposite things that can't co-exist, or can they? I'm certainly not for this, not one bit.

> We want our 401k's to continue to grow

No, we want more wealth, as measured by food, housing, healthcare, leisure, art, etc.

These ads produce none of that. They are a waste of human time and resources, and even if they make some stocks grow, they don't contribute to well-being, and make us poorer overall.

The stock market is a very poor measure of quality of life.
