• Hassled in the Market


    A man entered an open-air market. 

    He stopped at a table where a woman was selling insurance - life, home, and car. She was giving away little blankets to show the comprehensiveness of its coverage.

    At the second table a man was offering timeshares. All were five star resorts in the most exotic places. He was giving away body lotion to signify the luxuriousness of his offerings.

    A third table featured the brand new Apple Homepod, that allows people to simply speak a command, and instruct a computer to do the thinking and doing. The salesman was giving away free keyring-flashlights to show how convenient this new product was.

    Then, all of a sudden a wild-eyed crazy man stormed into the market and began overturning tables and shouting all sorts of angry words.

    He said he was furious at a system that promised false security, comfort, and convenience. 
    He said all of it was a lie - arguing that promising this without mentioning the ultimate source of it all was false advertising and was more harmful than anyone could ever know.
    He said he was going to tear it down.

    Soon the man was led away in handcuffs.


    People kept on shopping.
