We should all go back to carrying bags of Gold dust! (I was using the green stuff to pay for things at the store- but recently two times, the clerk told me "That's moldy bread!" I thought money was referred to as bread...and it's green.....)
Seriously, I don't own a schmart phone....I had a flip phone but they killed it (3G) and the replacement they sent me was defective...so I now just have a home phone. And any time they mention Q-R code on TV I want to throw a brick thru the TV.

I know a person who has 356 apps on his phone. He has trouble finding the correct apps.

I wonder if you need to be a prime member to enter... 
Need to scan to enter a store, but don't need to show ID to vote.

Yes. They should be FREE to do this in a FREE MARKET society. Why do you hate FREEDOM so much. Why do you think everyone should be FORCED AGAINST THEIR WILL to do things the way you want to?

False equivalency.
You have to have ID to register to vote. You can't just walk in and vote (like walking in a store to shop) without first being registered to vote.

I value INDIVIDUAL freedom, not Corporate freedom. A corporation HAS no "rights". Some fool idiot judge long ago decided to grant artificial entities "personhood" and it has been downhill since. I am as much against the corpocracy and I am the gubMENTAL idiocrac6y.

What about MY freedoms, Fred? The freedom from their tracking software that follows what I buy, when I buy, where I buy. And probably tracks a LOT of things they don't "bother" to tell me about.
