We’ve checked and the Google Earth maps have our USPS-certified address at several different places, none of them accurate. Spokeo and related types of sites have wildly inaccurate information.
Do they use GPS?
It may actually help that our particular rural area is liberal. Our county gets all sorts of perks.
That all said, the average discussion around here these days is about off-grid sustainability and no one seems to want to be a haven for looters.
IMO, not having an IPhone, not using Google, not signing up for social media, putting any ID or credit card in a shielded sleeve and (inadvertently, in our case) having a professional identity that differs from ones legal name all help. The government, of course, knows where we all are, but they can be confused and maybe even delayed by various means.
I don’t think they are going to come after our essentially pitiful stashes of food, etc. They have high tech bunkers for the connected and will take over stadiums and abandoned malls for the punters, who will be provided with rations from the hundreds of millions of freeze-dried meals they purchased last year. They will just embargo those of us out in the Disadvantaged Areas while maintaining their street mercs in the cities.
We won’t necessarily be safe in our rural redoubts, but we might just pass under the radar long enough for things to settle down.
Why is it you think the government cares where you are?
