Look, I have exactly two options:

1) Me and my entire family starves to death

2) I make 600k per year building surveillance systems for whoever wants them (as long as they're aligned with Peter Thiels and/or government interests)

This post has an 80% chance of being satire, and 20% chance of being from someone who honestly thinks not being able to afford a new iPhone every six weeks is literally like starving to death. Honestly, I can't tell.

> Me and my entire family starves to death

Patrick Star, in response to SpongeBob asking him to refrain from eating a candy bar, following a closeup pan of Patrick's extremely overweight body, "what do you want me to do, starve???"

Something children can understand the humor in. Being used to excuse marching us into totalitarian dystopia.

"I was just doing my job. ... I was just following orders".

Got it.

I want to believe that you got downvoted by the Oracle employees making 600k a year, rather than by people that couldn't tell you were being sarcastic.

3) The surveillance masters then take you or your family members, because eventually you (or they) go against their interests.
