The purposes they will be used for against the poor who will never be able to afford or control one.

I dunno, we might end up seeing them become commonplace. They'll be on an "affordable" monthly loan perhaps, but you're right, it would be like having a snitch and a cop in every home. That's the only reason it'd be subsidized.

    Yeah, I didn't think of that. Nothing like having a cop stationed right in the living room 24/7.

    I still think they might be afraid to give us private, 24/7 access to the machines. They can't defend themselves once their battery dies. They can't phone home from inside a faraday cage. They can't hide their secrets from a power grinder.
