The 2 weeks is to make sure that none of your dogs remains are still for sale at whole foods. They wouldn't want you to get any cheap meat to eat during your punishment.
Only half satire. A lot of people don't know how vehemently media companies fought (and are fighting) against home media, going all the way back to VCRs (probably further). Infrared scanners built into televisions that could sense how many people were in a room and would turn off if there were too many people was a real thing being floated. Similar campaigns against home sound systems. Movie companies have mostly calmed down, but PPV owners are, to this day, trying to make similar systems work.
Are you living in China? 20-years-ago in Harbin China, if you had more than 10 people in your apartment, people (Stasi) would rat you out. The police were then dispatched to the residence. They enter unannounced, arbitrarily pick one person. Take them to the nearest hospital & have their organs harvested for the black market. Yes, the very same hospitals in America are secretly paying for the best specimens for the elite. Larry Hagman, known alcoholic was pushed forward on the list of 1/2
Because of his celebrity status. It was vehemently disagreed with. He would NOT stop drinking & why take a good liver from a young child (where it was allocated to go) and give it to someone to extend his gluttony & disregard for the gift he was about to receive. They gave it to him anyway, *SIGH*
"Laugh-a while you can, a monkeyboy!" (No proof - just convo) Talking to the manager at my local Kroger Grocery about self check computers and he said that some Krogers now have facial recognition scanners to alert Mgt. to customers who have been barred (theft or disruption) and it is hooked into police systems to alert them of wanted people. (And we shook our heads at the Chinese sidewalk cameras - "can't happen here!")

Wrong. After raiding, they found memes on your phone about Epstein and sent you off for execution. Rip 🌹

You are given a choice. 1 year in jail or you must write a 10,000 word essay on what a wonderful person Saint Charlie of Kirk was.

I guess this has been wrote many years ago, because it’s not even close to how more dystopian the 2029 will be.
Dude we are almost there and it’s 2025.

On April 13, 2029 an asteroid called Apophis will pass dangerously close to earth.
Fingers crossed...

Shit, we only have two more Trolls movies before the full dystopia.

Ready Player one was mostly mindless nostalgic fun... but the indentured servitude plot, to me, was scarily possible.

Yeah. Amazon choice only tells you that they have a very high margin to keep the greed running.
