"At what cost?" is the English version of ですね (desu ne). It's a sentence stopper with a little Chinese-accusatory inflection at the end. It's a tense in American English. You have the cop violence tense which is ascended passive tense. Then you have Chinese-accusatory tense which is jealous present tense.

The US has like a military and private panopticon by the way. They use one to see if you'd make a good mass shooter and the other to sell you things the moment it looks like you're sad.
