I set a higher standard of ethics for young people. Great grandma may be racist but to some extent the hard-wiring from that generation is impossible to correct & only leads to frustration.

Ironically I have to #boycott the boycott site itself, #boycottowl, because it's a #cloudflare site.

Consumers are a sleeping giant; an untapped power to demand better from tech giants, if only we had the discipline to boycott unacceptible options. If only we had the constitution to refuse injustices & prioritize the greater good above selfish short-term desires.

Americans aren't even required to have a driver's license, so how can it be required to have one to obtain a credit report?
