They could use ignorance as an excuse the first time, but only those who were too young to see the first term can use it now. One of the failures of the US media is to continue allowing these voters to hide behind such plausible deniability

The current oligarchy has forgotten the lessons of history. The implicit deal is that they can keep extracting the value from us as long as they keep tossing us enough scraps. They show every intention of claiming a bigger piece of the pie

Yep - there are issues still with this class of product (bulky, wired) but they're getting much better. It's not quite portable enough yet and the ux is a train wreck since phone OSes don't handle them appropriately yet, but

These exist already; they're sometimes called "XR glasses." They simply act as a monitor for a connected device. The market is maturing and the hardware is pretty cool. The software situation is pretty dire though; phone OSes
