I feel these camera's is a symptom of how anxious the US overclass is.


I feel worrying about security cameras is primordial mammal fear of being tracked and eaten. Like fear of vaccine poisoning, a vestige of long ago threats.


The wealthy live different than you and me. A friends friends wife works at the facebook head quarters. Zuckerberg has a armed security escort when he walks between buildings. They're traveling around San Francisco, New York, London the same way you or I would travel around Mogadishu.

The reality is these guys are scared of us. And that's behind inane airport security, militarization of police, the ICE raids.

Years and years ago read a heretic economist that comment that highly unequal societies spend huge amount of money on security. Enough it has negative effects on their economy. This is really not a good thing for the rest of us.
