I just recently bought a phone plan for a year from US mobile and all I did was pay no ID. I did pay with card tho so its not like its anonymous.

by 2035 the US President is going to be a mummified corpse wearing sunglasses and they’ll just puppet the thing around.

In all seriousness I think all cars should cap out at 50 km/h. Like consumer vehicles anyway. If we made all cars weigh much less by making them smaller and made them cap out at a reasonable speed like that it would drastically reduce accident deaths. And if you really need to go somewhere super far away very fast you should just be taking a train or plane anyway.

I always have people passing me when I drive because I drive the speed limit and most people are 10-20mph over it at all times. Atleast where I live. It’s so dangerous.

This is a false framing of the actual dynamic at play. The problem is not the unmonetizability of it. This IS an issue to certain capitalist forces but the much more serious problem in the eyes of the capitalist state is that solar is decentralized. Centralized power production relies on infrastucture controlled by the capitalist. Even a personal home generator needs fuel to function. Which must be bought from those who control oil supplies. Solar once bought is entirely decoupled from their control. You can have solar panels and they cannot cut you power off anymore. It is an issue of power. Not the electric kind but the political kind. Controlling energy gives a person significant power of a society. Part of this is the ability to monetize that control but it is also simply a mechanism for control. The proletariet is seen as a threat by the capitalist and so any technology or policy that would remove direct control over the lives of proles is a threat. If they cannot cut off our power it removes a way for them to stop us from rebelling against them. Food and water supplies are also centrally controlled for this region. In many regions it would be cheaper and make more sense to grow much of our own food locally and have small well or rain catchment water systems. These are not used as they would destroy central control over the proles means to live. Making the prole a threat that cannot easily be neutralized. “Off-grid” living will always be something they attempt to discourage and make possible only for the wealthy. As to live truly off grid would mean to break free from the majority of the control mechanisms that are used to keep you subservient.

It’s not. They’re literally hacking your device to spy on you by reading EM interference and shit. It should be illegal.
