There are in-built kill switches in our devices. 

…

There’s no recourse to repair 
what we own within legality. 
            Amazon acquires OneMedical healthcare, 
            Amazon sells medical information to the police. 
It hasn’t happened yet but 
            the Ring Doorbells send footage 
            to the police without the consent 
            and the knowledge of the “owners,” 
and who makes the doorbells? 

…

They don’t make the tools we need 
            to become autonomous anymore 
            because they can ship us 
            our weight in debts instead. 

            What happens when we learn 
            that we can’t use our refrigerators 
because we’re late on rent? 
            What are you going to do 
            if you’re trying to shoot yourself 
            in the head and the gun won’t go off
because your sold healthcare data 
informed the manufacturer 
that because of severe depression 

the guns you own will become bricked?
