Privacy is one of few issues that might be universal enough to be addressed with our divided political system.

Very few of of our internet giants are prepared to profit and grow without relying on the rich dossiers they presently assemble for each citizen. This is why, when Apple issued their earnings warning last week, I moved substantial retirement savings *into* AAPL.
