You don’t want the government tracking your moments so you DRIVE? Ha! US police routinely use license plate scanners that can track you. Do you use a transponder to pay electronic tolls? Guess what they know where you’re going. Do you normally carry a cell phone when you drive? It tracks your movements, every time it pings a cell tower - not to mention if you use a GPS service. Even if you’re not carrying a cell phone, just about any car made in the last two decades has cell connectivity built in. When you buy gas do you pay with a credit card or do you only use less traceable cash? Any driver in the US who thinks they’re somehow free from surveillance is out of their minds.
That’s all true. And far more easily facilitated by the government-built interstates.
I was going to post a sarcastic reply with eye rolls and such saying that I had never thought of those things, but then I thought there is entirely too much of that going on these days.
A better way to respond is to say of course, I agree with you, which I do.
A better way to state it is, in a totalitarian state, which is a far easier way to control the movements of people: stopping them at the point of a train ticket purchase or denying them entry to a train and alerting police personnel (or shutting down the trains altogether) or sending police out to follow and intercept people driving cars?
Why make it easier for them to treat us like sheep being herded into pens?
