The Surveillance State

[DDZ]

Lilly Gaddis is very conservative and generally has a good video. I this video she talks about the ever increasing surveillance state.

  While I agree that surveillance is increasing, I did not go far into the video when I discovered it was just another anti-Trump rant.  I didn't stey long enough to note
   whether the incursions bny the left were enumerated.
   
   Yes, with the rise in advanced technology, snooping has increased. ..But surely not as egregious as the numerous violations launched by the left.

  I doubt we can halt it's spread, but we can try.  For instance, I use my credit card as little as possible, paying cash where feasible..and yes, most will accept cash.

  I see some businesses want credit card only purchases. That makes me wonder why they are  willing to give up an added fee, and accept a charge rather than
    accept cash!  ..Only reason I can see, is that they don't even trust their employees ! ...And I don't want to do business with such a firm.

My guess would be to discourage anyone from robbing them. IF it's made clean no cash is on hand it would or at least should discourage anyone coming in to rob the store.

Gaddis has been a loyal Trump supporter. The video isn't really an anti Trump rant. I have been an avid Trump supporter, but I can clearly see the Trump administration doing things that go against what he campaigned on.  A for instance is now we are not deporting all illegals. Just the bad ones. I'm guessing you quit watching when it was talked about the tech bros like Zuckersburg now all of a sudden being in bed and supporting the Trump administration. Who not long ago were rabid supporters of the democrat party.  Its true that every war or event leads to more surveillance on every day Americans lives. Just boil the frogs slowly, and it won't be noticed.
