In a few years we will be like Cuba. Home machining our own parts to keep stuff running just so we can get supplies and eat.

Unless people have the ability to home machine specialized chips, sensors and circuit boards we're going to be a lot worse off than Cuba. It's a lot easier to home build a float chamber or choke lever for a '50s vintage carbeurator than it is to crank out an electromagnetic solenoid valve for a modern fuel injection system.

Lol that’s cute you think state’s like California will still let people title,licence , register and operate on state roads a ICE vehicle older than 20XX. They already do not allow the title,reg or operation of any diesel older than 2010 inside the state borders. With HUGE penalties and vehicle confiscation for none compliant. The red state’s might let Cuba happen but the blue ones won’t and they will use every technical means to enforce it. Real time licence plate readers are already common in patrol cars add in London and NYC style stop light cameras and pedestal cameras at all the city and hwy crossing points. No licence plate you say...that would bet that vehicle impounded on the spot and a class A jail trip to boot. You won’t be able to Cuba your way out bank on that. This is why I own an EV and solar panels it’s something fedzilla cannot turn off the sun I have a 375 mile range from my roof top that no one can turn off not unless they go full matrix and blacken the sky’s with sulfur or ash.
