Ok rather the 20 questions, I’ll agree with the conspiracy that centralised digital economy creates the potential for a Hunger Games style world but do you honestly think the greater populace would currently allow that (beyond the current status quo)?
I am going to rely on those millions of 'mericans to finally justify their 2nd amendment rights they have held onto for 200+ years dammit.

If covid taught us anything, is that 80-85% of the population will do exactly what they told without asking questions because the govt told them to (and they would never lie or act in self interest) and then try to shame the minority that choose free thought. Covid was the trial run. The case study. The real thing is just around the corner.

This assumes that the only folks that asked questions were those same folk who didn't like the answers they were given.

Which is quite obviously complete nonsense if you stop to think about it at all.

Haha just our luck the second one….

in all honesty I give it 2-3 years before we’re all microchipped, no chip no Medicare, no social security, eventually no job. No cash. Govt will know where you are every moment, and what you spend every cent on. Then they can control every interaction you have. They designate what you can spend on booze, gambling. Deny you ability to purchase luxury items if you don’t do a, b, c.

I won’t give a shit, but I fear for our children and their children.

We're already "micro-chipped", you put it in your pocket or your bag every day when you leave home, or it might be on your wrist.

And we actively chose to do so, but it aint the ebil gub'mint seeking to control your life, it's multinational corporations wanting to know as much about you as they can, 'cause the more they know about you the more valuable that data is to folks who'd really like to sell you shit.
