My fellow chums and I think it would be quite corking if we gave our personal data over to the local advertisement agencies

How else will i know which scam products that we're built cheaply in a factory with poor conditions to spend my money on to have a fleeting sense of convenience that's washed away as soon as either

  1. I get used to it and it becomes just another thing in my house, my monument to consumption
  2. It breaks because the company cared about making a good product just as much as they cared about providing livable conditions for their workers, which is to say not at all
