maybe maybe not. they want to make everything online now. even business will not do hard copy paper stuff. they want all paper money gone and it will be all online transactions so they have all the power over you.
not using the internet is going to be impossible soon.
Yes, they are trying to force everything to online transactions.
But my comment was really more about if “they” shut down the internet, even for a short time, we still have a life without it. A really good life. Real instead of virtual. Real life has existed for centuries. :)
People need to remember this. Those of us who grew up before the internet know it well; the young ones need to be told.
