Tyranny of Big Tech?  

   Political freedom in America means permission to be left alone, if desired ... being engaged but independent ... and having a say in government of one's town and state, and Washington, D.C. - free from elitist power and control. 

   In practice, it's been some of this and some of that. And government isn't the only practitioner of power and control.   

   Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri has written a book - The Tyranny of Big Tech - which takes issue with Amazon, Facebook, Google and Twitter. 

   We haven't read the book, just about it.

   Hawley is concerned with big tech's power and its lack of concern for Americans' privacy. He provides ideas for reform. 

   He would break up the monopolies and change the way they do business. He also describes how families can protect themselves from big tech. Interesting.

Internet Everywhere!

   Speaking of big ideas, SpaceX founder Elon Musk offers Starlink, a satellite-based internet service provider that promises high-speed internet anywhere on earth. 

   Pardon my sniff - it's a fine development - but wouldn't the coming antichrist love to have immediate access to everyone on earth? 

Duh!      

   I am reminded that I drive three miles one way to walk one mile on the treadmill.
