      Lets record everything CEOs and government officials do in their spare time, and lets see how long that lasts.

        The simple fact of using the word “citizens” instead of people sounds awfully dystopian to me.

            If you are always on your best behavior, doesn’t that also mean you are also on your worst behavior? Are there specific times to relax permitted?

            What is it about the plummeting rates of violent crime in the past few decades that called for this erosion of human dignity?

                Only the middle class will be worried about this. Larry was obviously never broke. When you’re broke with no options, you don’t care. What are they going to sue, sue you when you’re already in a stack of debt? Take away the house and car you don’t own? Get you removed from your crappy job you hate anyway? I don’t see that as a plan the works out like they expect it to. It’s only when you have something to lose you’re worried about losing things. When you’re starting with nothing, there’s nothing they can take from you. Their plan doesn’t account for that.
