I wonder if you can quantify if there's any lower risk because you used this app. The odds of all the things are so low that I'm not sure it could be measured.


I think the fear theory of economy would have so.ething to say about this. (Not an economis, just a participant).

People like Trump understand that inducing and the capitalizing on fear, praying in the weak, is a tried and true means of turning profits. The 'Fear Machine' seems like an electric power supply for a cell phone, if you have virtually unlimited supply for a very effective tool (like charging a cell phone), maybe you don't even need to measure the electric power you consume. You just keep recharging your phone. One can always fabricate fear and turn more profit, and it that works, why bother 'metering' it?
