      Because some couch potatoes watch too many TV shows and think their activities are more important to others than it really is. No one, including the government, cares to learn about their Hello Kitty fetishes.

    Why are you still using the older version of the Alexa app? The ‘More’ = icon is now located at bottom right. Been in lockdown too long?
