Newsom to European leaders at Davos regarding their dealings with the Pres “I am dismayed by this complicity. World leaders are acquiescing. I should have procured a set of knee pads for all the dignitaries. I hope people comprehend how ineffectual they appear on the global stage

Look at the caption. Yikes. The ad tries to make you like the concept of 24-7 surveillance by government or even non-government (just as scary) with the promise of attending a football game or concert without the drudgery of carrying a physical ticket (or iPhone). Uggh!
