The country needs to find a “compromise” between privacy and safety, according to Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley.

“When people talk about just one of these, privacy or safety, they’re prioritizing the wrong thing, and what we have to prioritize as a country is compromise,” Langley said during a recent interview with Fox News. “How do we have our safety, and how do we balance privacy?”

What the US should prioritize is opportunity, education, corporate regulation, housing affordability, justice and dealing with corruption.

Gee, then they wouldn't need the surveillance state.

You're right, but all the 1% heard was: you think they should have less yacht money.

I am not even against the yacht money, just fucking STOP with the ARISTOCRATIC behaviors, dynamics, incentives.

I support a wealth cap ample enough to own a yacht, but not enough to make rogue aristocravcy viable. At least for now. The billionaires are doing everything they can to convince me that maybe even the yacht money is too much wealth holding.

Thr yact money is definitely too much.

With how things are going now, every day I am more amenable to this line of thinking.
