14. The hateful and presumptuous SOB's who think there's a goddamned APP for everything.
Thu Jul 28, 2022, 06:01 PM
Jul 2022

APP's are the cause of more problems for seniors than they ever benefit the remaining age groups. It's about purposefully engineered obsolescence of hardware and how that profit point has infected everything from self-checkout at Walmart to coordinating a simple office visit with your physician. To presume that texting on a cell phone is a universal option is the worst kind of elitism and its common throughout our society. Emailing is only a short step toward improvement and is just plain not available to everybody by a long shot.

Let's just all get on the same page and agree that the "convenience" of technological consumerism is more important that the lives of our neighbors. It's no wonder at all that the elections, simple polling mind you, has been invaded by the willfully cruel to punish and drive mad with frustration those whom TPTB have decided to scrap. Fuck 'em!
