Tax Per Mile May Be Coming

The public won't stand up for privacy rights until the govt starts trying to microchip everyone.  And maybe not even then.

Not if they sell it in the name of public safety, common good and national security.  I suppose what we are talking about here in some ways is a microchip implant for your car isn't it?

No they won't.  The working class hasn't the time, energy, or resources to fight anything and still have time left to live and pursue hobbies and outside interests.


Watch this clip.  It's only a minute and 5 seconds long.

but ,,, really, there is a trend of kids that DON'T want to get their license??? I don't think that is true around here!!!!!

Why do teens need a license?  It has zero to do with the expense.  It's because they don't have to congregate in order to socialise.  Today that happens on their smart phones via email, texting and social media.  

Could it be the hassle of driving?  Yes, but maybe not in the way you would think.  Remember, they've been chauffeured around in the back of mini van's, in comfortable captain chairs, watching videos, enjoying juice boxes and snacks, for their entire their lives.  It's a great deal.  Why change?

I'm not being cynical.  Google the topic.  It's interesting.

[Ghoste]

I can easily agree with all of that.

Cars used to give teens the opportunity to get away from adult supervision.  That's not true in the modern suburbs.

[Ghoste]

Well, suburbia is missing out IMO.
