What about investments?

Doesn't affect 90+% of people, and the remaining population frankly doesn't deserve privacy since they don't have anything to complain about.

Loading prepaid debit cards at gas stations sounds like a rough life. I’d like to think that I’d have more conviction for privacy if it came to that, but everyone has their line I guess.

Genuinely not bad unless you're a complete shut-in. It's also how the bottom 20% of Americans deal with online bill pay and interact financially with the digital world.

If you're living under capitalism and not investing in any way, that's not really some noble act, it's you voluntarily staying broke and dependent on others in the future.

Should at least have some form of retirement fund going so you don't have to leech off the taxes paid by the young when you're old.

Man you sound so brainwashed to me. Very American.

Very much not American but still investing what I can because no fucking way is the pension system still going to be there in 50 years, we haven't produced enough children in decades.
