Yeah having my ID recorded by computer on every transaction drove me to getting really serious about growing my own. No way, government.

ETA what did I trigger a g-man? Imagine if the state kept a log of every beer you bought? I prefer freedom.

Several companies keep track of where you're located at all times via your phone. Every time you use a credit card you're essentially lifting your hind leg and attempting to mark your territory. Go to any website and hundreds of companies have your preferences. I don't know. I think there's a little more to it than "freedom is when megacorps know more about me than I know about myself but showing a government ID is the real problem".
