yet another year goes by where tech companies seem to be influencing the state.

What a fascinating time to live in.

    still trying to figure out why. Seems like the counter intuitive thing to happen. But what do i fucking, i'm just a citizen of the US, the US government is responsible to me, it's not like i have a say in this or anything.
