because of the "war on drugs" was supposed to be about the health of americans, which turned out to be a lie...

I think this is not about protecting the rights to data and privacy of american indivudal citizens...the other kind of american citizen, the american corporation, on the other hand, stands to gain a lot from this.

ah, so corporations can well-foundedly and meaningfully consume the data of 'consumers' (an euphenism for fuel) in a way such that the historic shadow suckers of everything's energy (banks) can continue to partake on the sucking down of everybody's data/information (with real time measurements, which is a novelty in this ancient system build around trade, commerce, insurance, and power-authority concentration).

> by the culture or the environment, but by parenting.

uhm, so much of our culture and education comes directly from schools and media, not from our parents.

in fact, it's likely that most people learn not to ask question in a school-setting. hence we're (hoping that not anymore) in a culture that causes such low-self esteem by means of its educational institutions.

interactions with institutionally defined authority figures whose job is to teach (i.e. to parent you without the emotional bonds of your real parents) are a root cause.

the root cause is this culture which induces such problems with its relentless hirearchical control (authority) logic.

why read about it when we can experience it by being alive today?

to better understand the times, of course...

a watered down version of a slave... the upside is that all the 'onwer class' can swap employees in an out. e.g. if the company is a carriage, the employees are the road for it. no longer does every carriage build their own road. in this sense the companies swap employes

asking "why?" is a double whammy question, the answer they are looking for is a mix of what (to do) and how to do it, whatever that 'solution' is called.

how to fix this "most-open unit of computing" will depend on "what" do you think this 'unit of compute' even means, which of course depends on who you are and what do you do with 'units of compute' (buy? sell? resell? use up? build? oversee??)

> gig workers are consumers entitled to protection under the laws we enforce

consumers of the opportunity to labor?

that's 'symbiosis' like using a hammer to put a nail in is symbiosis.

I guess that's fine if all your life is work.

that's not so easy... there are some national bubbles which the internet used to be good as igonring, but not once it became the mainstream internet.

now the national barriers exist online too, in addition to the pre-existing language barriers. i.e. the information technology has been deployed as an extra tool to apply national-linguistic barriers between peoples.

or maybe 'it' created this scenario in which there are going to be a lot of GPUs that are going to be cheaper than sand (as you said).

what's truly been mind-boggling is how companies ARE made out of people... people who may well be your friends; and yet, what you said remains true, that the company wont be your friend.

it's a bit counterintuitive that something can be good for a company (or companies) AND bad for the customers of said company...

shouldn't something that is bad for a customer of a company be bad for the company too?

what about providing 'proper' information without corporate oversight to people in the USA?

because they teach.

the difference being drawing (evoking, pulling) something already there out of the student (education).

versus putting some knowledge from the outside inside of the student (teaching).
