Taking down a Flock camera means nothing if they replace it with another camera doing the same thing. These Corrupt Bigshots can change the company name all it wants, but Texans still shouldn't have their movements tracked and stored everywhere they drive.

A human can only survive 2-7 days without clean water, whereas we can survive in perpetuity without datacenters. Choose wisely.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
