As the article says, it's being worked on here too. Crushing ICE vehicles, switching to EV's that are not cost effective, the inevitable 'miles driven' taxes - all a push by the gubmt to eliminate personal transportation and the freedoms that come with it.

Wont happen especially in the click bait let's make it sound as scary as we can manner. Same as the electric rental scooter and bike trend. Some places will work and other places it wont: is it right for you and does it make economic sense. I get really tired of all this "THEY are coming for our X!" bullshit.

The goal is to get you to own nothing and rent everything: house, car, immunity...why do you think Blackrock and the like are buying up all of these houses?

I just use walmart as the generic.

Everyone is scared shitless of the evil government. It's not them you need to worry about, its private companies you have zero control or influence over but yet give ever tiny corner of your life too because its "fun" or whatever that is the danger. Folks inside facebook or google can see ever aspect.of your life. Pictures of your kids, where they go to school, what medical conditions you have, whether you're on birth control or heart meds or antidepressants, your income, religion, what kind of.porn you like, who your dating, where you drive fly walk and work.... and you give it all to them for nothing.

You also can no longer escape it. I am pretty stringent in my anti tracking and privacy and there are ways everyday that that is being undermined.

Your great great grandchildren will be able to browse ever item you ever bought on line long after your dust. Think about that.

The line between govt. and global companies is quite blurred, imo. Each doing the other's bidding, and an individual's influence is about zero for either.

And it's seldom about the common good of the people...but it's ALWAYS about the money...
