We humans are naïve. We assume that God, or the universe will reward us above all others. It drives the lottery. I makes us able to go on, as humans. It also is a door into our volition. Tell someone something is free, and they think it is magic. A sale is merchant goodwill. The apps folks design for you are just their ego's expressing themselves. And thanks for using their product. Nowhere does this express itself moar than the internet. And this, is based on the ludicrous elitism we feel about our FREE TV. Not like those propagandized Euros. We have FREE programming. And we have been trained to lurve free soooooo much that we allow those that will indenture our children in deadend jobs, to program their educations. We NEVER stop to ask the price of free. But what we will never question is, that enduring lies, and propaganda is NOT free. Nor is the energy and productivity used towards that end. Free should be the most scrutinized term known to man. Instead, it puffs out our national chests, as some folks have to pay for what we get FREE.
I will give you a gold star on that one- probably the best post I've ever seen from you. Free is in effect the button that turns off most people's good sense and turns up their gullibility; and of course- somebody is always paying for what is free. Usually the same person that takes advantage of it, sooner or later.
Our minds are addled by the disinformation that capitalism generates in order to continue to siphon wealth from the bottom to the top. The concept of "free" is just another of those boondoggles because the average person does not know the value of the information they give away for that "free" item. Just by taking the "free" hook they have already provided the fact that they are gullible enough to fall for that kind of nonsense and therefore will probably fall for other "free" stuff.
"We never stop to ask the price of free"----Yeah,let's talk about the price to breath free & fresh air--I bring this up because the whole of Nevada & surrounding states have been socked in with unhealthy smoke from fires going on for almost 4 weeks now--I have an idea---How about trump stop tweeting about "woe is me",for about as long as it takes to get on the tweeter & ask all firefighters to come to the aid of their country & come to help put these fires out! You can't win an election if all the voters (Dem & GOP)) die from smoke inhalation!
Good luck with that ever happening. As far as the BLOTUS is concerned if it isn't happening to him personally it doesn't concern him in the least. Too bad one of his golf courses isn't burning down because that would get his attention.
