Seems to me you can make anything sound ominous with your choice of writing style. In 1982 I was advised not to use ATM machines because it would enable government surveillance of our spending. That was breathlessly silly, too.

I am more worried about people cheating society. I pay my taxes and try to do the right thing. So bring on more government oversight and control over the economy.

But only if we also secure voting rights and have stronger protections against Trumpian destruction of government.
