Big data knows all about you! – John Stossel

Published

From StosselTV

The government is tracking you.

Here’s HOW they do it and WHY you should care.

@NaomiBrockwellTV has a popular YouTube channel where she points out that the government constantly spies on us, using data that apps collect via our phones.

But these apps “make my life easier,” I push back, “Convenience matters!”

“But privacy is important,” explains Brockwell. “The government is purchasing all this data about us. They’re creating records about all of us, and that’s a really scary thing.” “That data is forever … You have no control over what societal norms might change in the next 10 years and that data suddenly becomes incriminating. You’re basically making a bet that you and the people with the guns will always stay on good terms.”

In my video above, she explains why that’s not a good bet to make.

The Swamp Survived: Why Trump Failed to “Drain the Swamp”

Published on

From StosselTV

As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump promised to “drain the swamp.” He didn’t.

Trump made government bigger. He hired new employees, doubled federal spending, and started a bunch of new programs. Now the swamp is bigger.

In our new video, Economist Ed Stringham explains the real way to drain the swamp is to cut the spending that swamp creatures feed on.

After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.

Why Biden’s Just Wrong: NO ONE “Knows How to Make Government Work.”

Published on

From StosselTV

During his last campaign, Biden claimed he “knows how to make government work.” But he doesn’t! No one does.

Biden can’t keep track of what he spends, inflation is worse, and our national debt is the highest it’s ever been.

Economist Ed Stringham says, “It’s a hubris that the government knows best.”

While government fails to work, the private sector gets things done.

Our new video shows ways markets outperform even the best-meaning politicians.
