In the same boat here but 20 miles away from town, aside from an overpriced Dollar General 7 miles away. There is a such thing as DYI electric cars these days. If diesel is still available, I could go modern Amish and take the tractor to town once a month. One town is 13 miles of gravel plus 5 of pavement. Don't have enough land to support a horse so horse and buggy are out. I think rural people will end up ride-sharing which is also something the Amish do with those 15 passenger vans.
Yes, they do want to force people into the cities where they can control them. They talk of Smart Cities but the only Smart part of it will be lots of facial recognition cameras and a requirement to carry your cell phone with you at all times and scan a QR code to enter/exit every building, to pay for things, to prove you're up to date on jabs to do any of the above etc.
I’m getting to the stage in life where I probably won’t be here to see the worst that will happen, but I feel for those youngsters that are so smug and haughty right now. They aren’t going to like what they will experience.
