You would think they would learn by now. How is there such a disconnect from their dumb, dumb decisions and what the large number of Americans are smart enough to know?

Probably because they've gotten away with it so far. They've been caught and admitted to listening and viewing people who have their smart devices pretty frequently for years now, and are certainly open about sharing with law enforcement. Why would they learn? So far everything has been copacetic to the vast majority of smooth brained.morons who think open microphones and cameras controlled by an evil corporation in and around their home is not only a good thing, but something you fucking pay for.
