That's already been covered - hence this. They'll be following the Texas playbook next.
Secret beard fetishes are widespread?
Beard: No more goat pr0n for you.
Nearby goats: oh shit.
Try quitting social media - life will seem (and be) more awesome almost immediately.
Never make a choice which can't be rolled back.
People are works in progress.

You can't have a society where if you don't work you don't eat and then start automating the fuck out of everything.
Correct, YOU can't, but THEY can. All you have to do is stop living and your problems are solved. THEY don't care about your problems. YOU are THEIR problem that they desperately want to get rid of. YOU might band together with others like YOU and bring out the guillotines.
Somone quite possibly made a living bitching about the loss of the 3.5" headphone jack, and possibly DB9, parallel, floppy drives, optical drives, firewire, PS2 keyboard and mouse ports, micro USB, VGA, s-video, composite, RJ14, S/PDIF and PCMCIA.
One of these things is not like the others. I wonder if you have the intelligence to figure out which one it is...
