    Who are they buying that data from?

    Apple, Google, Amazon, and Microslop have all devices that are tracking location 24/7.

    Maybe citizens should start buying location data on Kash Patel, Hegseth, Vance, Thiel, Ellison, etc. You know, so everyone knows where they are at all times in case they want to thank them forcall the good work they’re doing.

    Can I sell my location? I already know where I am and I could use the money.
