  The corporate media doesn’t even try to manufacture consent anymore, they just write articles like this

    now they just tell people they “should”, like it’s a duty or imperitive

      The only hope is they don’t find a way to make us all fork out for expensive folding phones like they have regular smart phones

      That’s the part that caught my attention. Our lords and masters have decreed we must CONSUME AT ANY COST!!!

        should/shall are very powerful words, they are the words of the Ten Commandments and words in legal statutes.

  In India iphones cost more than a basic car. It’s outrageous

  and yet, when I bought my first home pc it was really expensive. And a printer too. 1984 spent nearly 3,000 on the whole set up, in today’s money that is 11,650. But for us it was an investment in a career .

  To some people that amount of money is nothing. Sadly am not one of those people, so I guess their ad won’t work on me!
