    Liberal: Your point, though accurate and poignant, is now mute since I see you misspelled “helathy.” I have now converted to fascism because of your error. Do better next time!

        In all seriousness, I did forget the other piece of the laptops is to get children addicted to electronics and create a new generation of hyper consumer.

          It’s okay, it’s all quite literally designed to fly under our radars. The “solution” of course is to be hyper vigilant but being hyper vigilant is exhausting. Exhaustion leads to lapsed vigilance. It’s an endless cycle.
