Smart Meter Dangers–Are They Safe or Not?
This post may contain affiliate links from which I will earn a commission. Learn more in our disclosure.
Are you wondering if smart meters are safe? Trying to sort through the claims about smart meter dangers? Here is information you should know about the potential risks involved with these meters and how they might affect your health and privacy.
We've had to go against the norm many times in our quest for better health. I've gone sugar free, gluten free, stopped eating foods my breastfeeding son was allergic to, and have tried all kinds of natural treatments in order to avoid antibiotics and other meds when dealing with conditions such as sinus issues and earaches.
Now I'm not getting a smart meter.
Why not?
If it's “smart”, it must be a good thing, right?
Well, when I was younger, I was called smart in school. Most of the time it was a compliment. Well, sometimes it wasn't but my mom told me those kids were jealous. It didn't feel like it but in hindsight I think she was right.
Anyways, in most cases you'd like to be the smart kid in class.
And when people say “you look smart” they mean you look nice.
(I guess folks say “sweet” and such these days…..but that's beside the point.)
So how about a Smart Meter? Are smart meters safe?
Must be a good thing.
Think again.
There are a lot of smart meter dangers that you need to know about.
I got a notice in my mailbox about 3 weeks ago stating:
YOUR UPGRADED METER IS COMING.
ENERGY THAT WORKS SMARTER FOR YOU.
THAT'S OUR PROMISE TO MICHIGAN.
and another letter than said something like (this one I must have thrown out):
Congratulations! Smart Meters will be coming to your neighborhood in the near future.
I guess that's supposed to make me feel good about this Smart Meter coming to my house.
But I am not.
I'd heard about smart meters, but I didn't know much about them so I started to poke around.
It's not typical for me to be excited about some technology thingamabob being added to my home without my knowing anything about it.
I didn't like what I found.
Now let me tell you the truth. (Not that I typically–or ever–lie to you all or anything.)
I read A LOT. And I talked to a bunch of folks on the phone.
And I spent a lot of time emailing experts about smart meter dangers and EMFs (one who wrote a post that I will share here soon).
I read articles on both sides of the topic and I even called my electric company several times.
Today's post is the result of my having digested all of these conversations and emails.
And I've come to the conclusion that–
I DON'T WANT A SMART METER ON MY HOME.
And neither should you.
First of all, let's talk about what a Smart Meter (NOT a good name for this thing, by the way) is:
What is a Smart Meter?
A Smart Meter (also called AMI or AMR) is a type of meter designed to eliminate meter readers (can you say “more unemployment”?). It's a fairly expensive piece of wireless machinery that send information about your energy use (how much you are using at different times of the day) to your utility company.
They relay data about your energy.
Proponents of these meters say that they will be used to show consumers how much energy they use at certain times of day and that they will help them budget their energy use (and therefore money) better.
Opponents say there are many risks involved.
After doing literally tens of hours of research, I've come to the conclusion that:
I DO NOT WANT A SMART METER ON MY HOME!!
Here's why.
7 Smart Meter Dangers
1. Health
There are sooo many health problems with these smart meters.
Basically we're talking about the same effects of EMFs (electromagnetic fields).
Now we all know that EMFs have been in the news a lot and that there is a lot of evidence mounting about the health risks of such radiation from microwaves, cell phones, WIFI, and the like.
In case you haven't seen some of this, or aren't convinced of it, following are some health conditions that are reported to be as a result of EMF exposure (Source)
- Insomnia
- Heart palpitations and blood pressure increases
- Ringing in the ears
- Concentration, memory or learning problems
- Dangerous increases in blood-sugar levels
- Strange sensations in the body—including buzzing, shooting pains
- Anxiety and/or an anxious feeling in the body that is inexplicable
- Fatigue
- Flu-like symptoms
Scientists have shown that the electromagnetic frequencies emitted by smart meters and digital meters:
- disrupt the blood-brain barrier, contributing to diseases like dementia and Parkinson’s
- disrupt nerve transmission, causing attention-related problems, insomnia, heart palpitations, and muscle pain
- disrupt cell reproduction and damage DNA, causing cancer and rapid aging
- disrupt the redox balance through oxidant/nitrosative stress
And here's a biggie.
CANCER.
The World Health Organization (WHO) as classified the radiation that comes from Smart Meters as a potential carcinogen, in the same class as DDT and lead. (Source) Now, I am not always in agreement with the WHO, but in this case I am listening.
And besides, even if you think that the FCC has protected you enough with their limits on human exposure to microwave radiation, Smart Meters have been known to exceed the FCC limits.
There's been a lot of debate out there about whether or not this type of radiation (RF, or radio frequency waves) causes cancer or not, but some of the studies coming out are quite compelling. This recent one from Sweden being one of them.
I think of it like this. Years ago:
– we were told that cigarettes were healthy (they were even promoted as a way to have a lower weight baby). We know better now.
– we were told that fluoride should be in our drinking water. That is being called into question.
– we were told that RoundUp would evaporate and not cause harm. We know better now.
It seems that these EMFs are a big deal and we are just starting to see the damage.
If you REALLY want to read some downright frightening and well-done research about EMF radiation and health problems, the BioInitiative Report will keep you busy for awhile.
For me, this is all a HUGE deal, considering that the Smart Meter would be right by my sons' bedroom.
Nice, huh?
2. Privacy
The data collected from Smart Meters is detailed.
And it's worth money.
Think about it.
Data is ALWAYS worth money. Companies pay BIG money for information on your buying habits, for your email address, and more.
Technically, according to one of the Smart Meter experts I talked with, Smart Meters could track what TV shows you watch, and potentially what food you eat, if your refrigerator is equipped with “Smart” technology. The fridge could scan your Ben and Jerry's and potentially report this to healthcare corporations. Perhaps it's a good idea to start making your own Homemade Ice Cream!
YIKES!
These are the potential privacy concerns regarding Smart Meters (Source):
Identity Theft
Determine Personal Behavior Patterns
Determine Specific Appliances Used
Perform Real-Time Surveillance
Reveal Activities Through Residual Data
Targeted Home Invasions (latch key children, elderly, etc.)
Provide Accidental Invasions
Activity Censorship
Decisions and Actions Based Upon Inaccurate Data
Profiling
Unwanted Publicity and Embarrassment
Tracking Behavior Of Renters/Leasers
Behavior Tracking (possible combination with Personal Behavior Patterns)
Public Aggregated Searches Revealing Individual Behavior
In California, the sharing of this type of data is already going on.
transparency reports filed by the California utilities companies and obtained by the ACLU of California show that a significant amount of data about the energy use of Californians is also ending up in the hands of third parties. In 2012, a single California utility company, San Diego Gas & Electric, disclosed the smart meter energy records of over 4,000 of its customers.
Interestingly enough, there is a BIG movement in California against Smart Meters, while Marin County has criminalized the installation of Smart Meters.
Perhaps this is a smart response?
Yes, modern conveniences can help with some things, but are we trading our freedom for convenience?
We really need to count the cost.
3. Fire Risk
There have been hundreds of fires caused by Smart Meters.
You can see some of the horrible photos and information about smart meter fires here, here, and here.
I have not been able to find a source of analog meters causing fires. Additionally, here is a quote from Mindy Spatt of TURN (The Utility Reform Network) regarding analog fires:
Comparing analog to the new meters, she added, “In the collective memory of TURN, we have not seen similar incidents with analog meters.”
In fact, if you do an internet search of “fires caused by analog meters,” all that shows up is report after report of Smart Meter fires.
Moreover, here's something you might be surprised to hear: Most (if not all) Smart Meters are NOT UL Certified.
Now, how smart is that?
Which begs the question – if your house causes fire due to one of these meters, will your homeowners insurance pay for it since the device is not UL certified? I called my homeowners' insurance company to find out.
They told me that in my case, my insurance would NOT be cancelled, but that if a fire were to be caused by the meter, they would go after the utility company for reimbursement.
They did advise, however, that every insurance company is different, so you should check with your homeowners' carrier to find out their stance on this issue.
4. Lack of Energy Savings
These Smart Meters are supposed to save us money.
Well, none of this savings has been proven, and in fact, there are some pretty important people saying that they think the savings simply aren't going to happen. (Source)
– “It costs too much, and we're not sure what good it will do.” – John Rowe, CEO of Illinois utility ComEd.
– “[Smart meter] deployment . . . allows utilities to lower operating costs while increasing revenues.” – Frost & Sullivan
– “No net economic benefit to ratepayers.” Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette (yea for my home state!)
– “Smart-meter conversion represents little more than a boondoggle that is being foisted on consumers by the politically influential companies that make the hardware and software that are required for the smart-meter conversion.” – Consumers Digest
In one poll I read, (site seems to be having trouble so link was removed) about 1/3 of the people who had Smart Meters installed had an increase in energy costs, and one quarter saw their costs double, triple, or more.
This article talks about one citizen who found much higher bills as well.
Hmmm…doesn't sound so good now, does it?
5. Personal Safety
Something to consider–if this data tells what electricity you are or aren't using, couldn't hackers get this information and know whether or not you are home or whether your kids are home alone?
Seems like a valid concern.
6. Legal, Constitutional and Human Rights Violations
Our Constitution has been shredded recently by many government officials and courts.
Should we let it go even further?
So now we have utility companies forcing this technology on us that:
1. Is a health risk
2. Is a violation of privacy
3. Is a fire hazard
4. Costs too much
5. Has no real benefit
6. Potentially puts our personal safety at risk
Can you think of anything else that a corporation or government entity forces you to put on your house?
And you need to pay money if you don't want it?
This huge list of violations will really get you thinking.
7. Exorbitant Cost
Check in your area how much money your utility want to charge you for not getting a Smart Meter.
Our charges in Michigan were really high and our Attorney General pressured the utilities to reduce their fees, which they did.
Now, our utility wants about $69 to opt out of the Smart Meter program, plus $9.72 a month.
Forever.
That amounts to about $120 a year for something I don't want, that:
– puts my family at risk for health issues
– seems to be a fire hazard
– violates my privacy
– quite possibly doesn't save any money (in other words, it doesn't do what it's supposed to do)
– puts our personal safety at risk
– violates the Constitution, plus comes with legal and human rights concerns
– has overpriced fees associated with not taking it
Conclusion
Whatever a smart meter is, I don't want it.
I hope to share with you what happened when I called our local electric company and told them that I didn't want their “Smart Meter.”
Seriously, instead of calling it a Smart Meter, I think I'll call it a “Dumb Meter” or “Invasive Meter” or “Cancer Causing Big Brother Technology Doohickey.”
So now the questions are:
1. I don't want a Smart Meter. What should I do next?
2. I have a Smart Meter already. What can/should I do?
I hope to tackle all of these questions, including:
– sharing with you what happened to me when I contacted my local electric utility and told them I didn't want a Smart Meter
– what I have done about Smart Meters coming to my neighborhood
– what I am planning to do
I hope you all will help get the word out. Even if you have a Smart Meter installed, it's not too late.
Protect Yourself from EMFs
I will be adding some different options for protecting yourself from the damaging effects of EMFs.
1. Limit EMF Exposure
One thing that our family does is limit EMF exposure as much as possible. We still have some work to do but we love the protective devices from DefenderShield.
We use their Cell Phone Cases & Laptop Shields and I feel so much better knowing that we are protecting ourselves this way.
2. Know Your Risks
It's a great idea to have an EMF Meter to measure different devices and areas of your home.
Here are two options:
This EMF meter was recommended to me by a blogger friend who is very concerned about such things and seems like a great option. It's mentioned by a lot of people as being a solid model.
TriField EMF Meter Model TF2
This EMF meter is the one we have in our home. It's a bit more expensive than some, but it's the one most often recommended by EMF specialists.
It measures not only radiation from 4G and 5G, but also from Cell Towers, WiFi routers, Bluetooth, AC Powerlines, and Smart Meters.
Here's a more affordable option that has great reviews as well. One of my friends has it and really likes it.
Hopefully you don't have a smart meter, or if you do, you can get it removed from your house. If you can't, here's a Smart Meter Shield to help protect you from the EMFs it's emitting.
4. Get a Router Shield
Your WiFi router is one of the strongest sources of WiFi in your home. A router shield like this one can help shield you from EMFs while allowing your router to work.
5. Consider Eco-friendly Routers and More
This company has some highly regarded more eco-friendly routers, baby monitors, and more. A great option for reducing exposure in your home.
6. Reduce the Effects of EMFs
What if your jewelry could counteract the effects of EMFs?
This LOVELY interchangeable jewelry addresses the energy depletion of cells that comes from EMFs and even possibly repels mosquitos to boot! The pieces look amazing (the online photos of the individual products don't do them justice.
I love the Zen base, this base, and this bracelet. They have women, men, children, and pet pieces too.
The Boxed Sets are a great way to get started and save.
My oldest notices he's sleeping better with them, my youngest has noticed that his hands don't bother him anymore when he's on a device, and I have a lot more energy.
Comment or reach out at adrienne {at} wholenewmom {dot} com if you need any help picking things out. Also if you order on Party 550, I will be doing a drawing for a free piece.
I'll have more ways you can get involved in future posts so make sure to sign up for blog post updates so you don't miss anything.
More on Smart Meters:
For Part Two Read here: Smart Meters Are Coming to YOUR Neighborhood. What Should You Do?
What do you think?
Do you think Smart Meters Are Safe?
Ok, while I won’t be as harsh as Concerned Human, he has excellent points. My thoughts are this – if you ( and any tin-foil hat followers) are that concerned that a meter designed to read your electricity usage could be generating EMF, there’s a simple solution – stop using electricity!! No electric, no need for a meter. Problem solved.
And this notion that you’re pissed off that it’s going to cost you to opt out of the smart meter program – yeah well, they have to continue to send some to your meter and spy on you – sorry, meant read your meter – manually. Only fair that you foot that bill. We’re in the 21st century now, and if you’re losing your wig over something as simple as a smart meter, my suggestion is to build that underground bunker and get ready – it’s only going to get worse fro here!
But seriously, I thought this was an article written by The Onion. Then I saw you were serious- which made me sad. Then I saw that you are a “Phi Beta Kappa from a top university in the US”, and that made me even sadder for the future of our education system. You remind me of Jenny McCarthy, trying to rally folks to ban something they either don’t truly understand and generating false information to further your agenda. I’ve worked in the computer field for all of my adult life (near 60yo). Exposed to EMF fields daily, whether at home, work or in between. No cancer, no ringing, no ill effects – okay, maybe an embedded impatience for stupid people – but I blame my mother for that. She was an IT person in the days of house sized computers, and lived to 90.
Thanks for the laughs, and good luck with the future!
Just stop using electricity?
That’s really interesting. So power is something that is deemed necessary for humans to exist so that they can heat their homes, have cooled food, etc. In fact, in some areas it’s been deemed illegal to go off grid. So it’s not as simple as that. https://www.theinertia.com/environment/apparently-its-illegal-to-live-off-the-grid-2/
I spelled out the facts about a reader needing to come to my home. The electric company has allowed people to read their own meters for years–and then make up the difference at the end of the year. So why not now?
I gave my responses to the power company’s other explanations as to why I should have an added monthly fee. It’s frankly all stupid.
Sorry you feel the way that you do about the education system. I share your concerns about it but not b/c of my accomplishments and where I went.
And about your last assertion. Just b/c YOU don’t have effects from EMF doesn’t mean they aren’t hurting a lot of people (which they are). That’s like saying that just b/c some people don’t get cancer from smoking that smoking doesn’t cause cancer.
Perhaps this info from Pub Med would prove to be an interesting read for you:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20429163
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5247706/
At the very least, this is an area of growing concern that demands more attention as our exposures are multiplying at a very great pace.
going off the grid is much easier than you think as many Amish do it. They heat their homes without electric even in the north where temps get in the single digits.
I don’t think it sounds easy but I would be open. It’s illegal now in some places. Go figure.
You must work for the electric company you dumb (expletive deleted by blog owner). Start checking around instead of running your mouth .
Good morning
I think I have smart meter, after a year or two I been having muscle pain, fatigue, insomnia, and many more, I believe I have a smart meter and I’m not happy for that. How can I get rid off a smart meter? Please help . You talk about this with people and they think you are crazy. Just like that,! But we all know the truth . Please help, I don’t want it in my house
Hi there. I’m sorry you are having so many issues. There are several sites w/ information out there like stopsmartmeters.com that tells you options for getting smart meters off of your house.
THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS!!
I’ve been fighting these smart meters for years and the evil power companies that are trying to install them everywhere. In August of 2015 I moved into a new house that contained one of those fancy spying meters. Over the next few months I started feeling deadly sick when I was inside my house for any considerable time. I couldn’t sleep and felt fatigued 24/7, but only at my house and not my friends. I went to the
doctor and was diagnosed with insomnia, high blood pressure and sugar levels, and radiation isotopes in my blood causing acute radiation sickness. After exhausting all professional medical options, I researched online
and read blogs on where people attributed these symptoms to smart meters. As a last ditch effort, I took a steel crowbar and ripped my smart meter out and put a Masterlock on my meter box to stop the power company from
reinstalling another meter. Instantly all my symptoms went away and I feel amazing, even though I’m living in the dark now. Plus my power bill went down dramatically!
My cousin is a graduate at MIT and they are studying the most popular smart meters on the market. They’ve found that it emits the same amount of radiation as living near SIX nuclear plants. That’s just ONE smart meter.
GOD BLESS!!!
Hello there – I’m so sorry for responding to this so late. I was buried under literally hundreds of comments and am going through them finally. Do you have information on that study? You could send it to me via email as well – adrienne @ wholenewmom.com. I don’t know what to make of the rest of your comment–did you really rip it off? What happened since then? I mean, of course your bill would go down (like to nothing, LOL!) so sounds like this is a joke comment.
2) Privacy – It’s really hard for me to read this stuff… “potentially what food you eat”. Please tell me how you can come up with any way to extrapolate the notion that your fat self has consumed Ben & Jerry’s, not frozen gravy or whatever your moronic self-eats, because your power meter moved from 10kWh to 11kWh. I don’t know how this you makes this stuff up…
NOTE: THE POWER COMPANY LOOKS AT POWER USAGE – NOT GROCERIES
(I can’t believe I just wrote that.)
Yeah, again – go and talk w/ someone else about this. I am not fat. Again, I eat almost no sugar, and I certainly don’t eat Ben and Jerry’s or frozen gravy. I eat almost 100% whole organic foods. Clearly you didn’t read up on me enough. You clearly didn’t read the Wired article either.
I do not care about you or your opinion. I never found any article by Wired or any other CREDIBLE source. All I can find is inane moronic statements of false accusations.
You don’t seem to care about posting totally inaccurate false accusations about me.
Here: https://www.wired.com/2012/03/petraeus-tv-remote/
I guess it all depends on what you think is credible. Ad hominem attacks are typically an indication that the person making them doesn’t have anything valid to say. Perhaps you should consider that before you call me fat and unattractive and make statements about what I eat. And now you are calling me inane and moronic. Cut it out.
I hope this resonates with you! If our interaction does nothing more than teaches you to stop spreading falicies, it’s worth it! Do research, please, I’m begging you stop enabling people to be stupid!
Read about one thing: Ionizing radiation
I promise it will make your life so much better knowing not everything emitting radiation kills you.
So what is your point? EMF’s aren’t ionizing radiation.
I was actually researching some sources of radiation earlier this week and it wasn’t b/c of your obnoxious comments.
1) Safety – The amount of radiation a small <10mW transmitter would induce into your fatty, unattractive, ignorant body, pales in comparison to the countless amounts of background radiation, decaying isotopes, and UV radiation you endure every day. Your pea brain and flabby ignorant body is safe to this transmitter's innocuous frequency. The lower power-2.4 Ghz signal is comparable to the radio waves you've endured for the extent of your ignorant fear-mongering life, but maybe they made you this stupid?
Hi again, “Concerned” – you can find evidence all over the place about what smart meters emit. I shared info in the posts here. I am not fat. I’m a size 4. So you’re wrong on many points. I won’t address your idiotic and rude comment about my appearance, but I’m not ignorant. However, it’s possible that my body is ignorant since really only my mind can know things so maybe you’re right about that. I know about background radiation. Doesn’t mean I want more. Do you want more?
I keep sun exposure low on purpose so I don’t get a lot of UV radiation every day.
I’m Phi Beta Kappa from a top university in the US. Sorry. I graduated from their honor’s program as well.
This article is full of misinformation and speculation, most of which must have been dreamt up in your darkest nightmares. This uneducated spew is an example of why we have troubles in public perception in countless fields and industries. Ignorance is a choice, one that shouldn’t be spread to almost 30k readers. It’s a terrifying world when information is made up and misconstrued per your ludicrous opinion. I want to address all of your concerns please read below.
Nope – I never had a nightmare about smart meters. I just read up on them and decided I didn’t want one. If you think my concerns are invalid, which they might be, please do go and talk with others who have made public statements about these issues like this Harvard trained physician: https://ehtrust.org/educate-yourself/health-risks-posed-by-smartmeters/ I would be interested in hearing what you think about this.
5) Personal Safety – This goes back to your “Privacy” section tell me how your “hackers” are going to determine when you’re home or not. It’s a kWh meter, it means there is an amount of power throughout a duration, aka-energy, it counts up. For your incompetent brain – higher number later in the month, lower in the beginning. How does that insinuate you are at home? Do you even know what you’re writing? Who are you?
6) Legal, Constitutional and Human Rights Violations – First, what does this mean? How is an energy meter imposing on any of these statues? I don’t know how to combat this ignorant complaint.
7) Exorbitant Cost – That’s your decision to opt into this cost. Your logic makes no sense! This is a point for the smart meter.
You are a moron and don’t deserve to spread this ignorance to this many people.
Please refrain from sharing any other inaccurate information.
Respectfully,
Concerned Human
Go ahead and review this article: https://www.wired.com/2012/03/petraeus-tv-remote/
About the cost, no it wasn’t really a choice. The utility company decided to come to my house and remove something off of it without consulting with me in the first place. Their reasons for charging me extra don’t make any sense. I can read my meter monthly and then they could check it once a year and charge or refund me the difference.
And once again, I’m not a moron. Is there a reason you feel the need to insult me like this? What do you care? Do you have stock in smart meters or what?
“Respectfully”? Hardly.
3) Fire Risk – If any valid documentation ever comes out about smart meters catching fire, I’ll acknowledge it. EMF Safety Network – You have to be kidding me- try to find a credible site? In response to an electronic device failing: You have to be typing these moronic statements on a computer or something that has an inverter in it… watch out, it could catch on fire. Analog meters don’t catch on fire because guess what, they explode. When electronics fail they break down, they can still sustain the circuit so they heat up and catch fire. When electrical/electromechanical devices fail, they short, aka. BOOM. Don’t take my word for it, take a fork and stick it in a socke… never mind, you might actually do it.
4) Lack of Energy Savings – First, the meter is powered on the utility’s dime, the power consumed by the meter is not on your bill. The presentation you attached documented the findings from 7/13/2011 to 9/2/2011, by doing a little research I found the month of August actually has an increase in temperature, this could yield that increase in power as you described. As I stated before these devices do not contribute to the total amount of energy you are consuming in your house hold, ; however if they did, one of the devices power supply indicates the burden as 4W if I utilize my rate (one of the highest in the country right now), it comes out to $.40. Your fat stupid self could eat one less cheese stick and compensate for this loss.
I linked to articles about smart meters catching fire. So go ahead and write those people about their articles.
Here’s one for you to consider. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/dec/29/smart-electricity-meters-dangerously-insecure-hackers
I don’t think that just b/c a site is about EMF Safety means it’s not credible.
Enough of the insults. If you want to make comments or question the facts in an article, that’s fine but you can otherwise keep your opinions to yourself. As I said, making ad hominem attacks typically show the weakness of the argument that the person making the attack has.
As for the lack of savings, there are loads and loads of people complaining and actually taking utilities to court due to faulty readings.
And on your last ad hominem attack, I don’t eat cheese, I’m a size 4, and I’m a Phi Beta Kappa grad. But I guess I already told you that.
Rubbish, eh? 25 years ago I had injuries and one disease and had numerous MRIs, xrays, and CT scans done of the head and neck area. The docs believed the data fed to them, that none of these would affect health. I’m now a cancer survivor – of the head and neck – and was told by my cancer doc that they don’t order MRIs like they used to because, as it turns out, they weren’t so harmless after all. As an aside I don’t use microwaves, either. All of which we are exposed to adds up, and now even pediatricians are saying ‘not so fast’ when it comes to wifi devices and little ones. But hey, it’s your life. Cigarettes were once considered safe, too.
Ugh!!! I am confused–I thought that MRIs do not have radiation. Maybe it was the other things that affected you?
Yes, thank you for the correction. More coffee, please!
:). I totally get it!
I have smart meter and I now am brainwashed and can communicate with aliens but I get to sit around all day and watch all the cool commercial TV shows about sheople. I’m so proud of our society on how we keep populating and desecrating our planet for our own personal greed and needs that we thrive on. I can’t wait to have more and more and more children. Life is so awesome!
Whoa – those are some pretty bad side effects!
