Ditching the gas tax and charging per mile

There you go. Thats the actual one I was looking for.

Agreed, it does call for controls, but it very specifically does not mention kill switches.

Of course, all of our trucks already have a kill switch built in as part of the telematics and theft prevention systems. Ram can shut your truck off anytime they want, just like OnStar has been able to do for 20+ years.

The reality of the situation is that 99.999% of people, no matter their opinion on the government or any other organization, are not interesting enough for anyone to care about what they do or to want to control their vehicle. If you’re involved in something that’s going to make you “interesting”, you know it already, and probably aren’t spending your time posting on or reading truck forums.

You obviously don't spend any time in OT @ 5thgenrams. LOL

Hah! Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant people who *actually* have some reason to be worried someone is watching them, not people who just think that.

Individual surveillance is shockingly expensive and time consuming. So is using computers and AI to do it. It’s not being wasted on “Bob who has 6 guns and a 2A sticker on his truck and once went to a rally”.

less and less this >>So is using computers and AI to do it. << I can attest that spending a few billion on storage and a sniffer AI bot through peta upon petabytes of big data is not very far fetched if you are seeing a prize at the end.

All about the money, always has been. No one, literally 0 people in the .gov give one **** about the environment. I'd be willing to bet big money that I, ME PERSONALLY, care more about the environment than Nancy P.

"We must stop climate change" actually means "We must collect more of your money!"

Just that simple. They can all go to hell. Both sides.
