      There isn’t a secret conspiracy to price people out of using computers for being a “democratizing force.” In fact, our computer & internet usage is monitored by the security state and by Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, etc. Or did we forget everything that Snowden revealed? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM
