Trump is an evil narcissist, but I don't fault the working class for leaving the democrats and voting for him. He was promising them (falsely) progressive ideas, like bringing jobs back, fixing the healthcare system. Of course he doesn't really care about that or will do it, but he was the only one talking about it. It always boils down to the economy though, and Biden's economy was horrendous, people, the working class were hurting and all Kamala gave us were platitudes, no substance, no solutions to what mattered to them.

They are already in the process, it is called Real ID. Never get one, and despite what they say, you can refuse to get it, opt for a regular drivers license at the DMV. The photo for the Real ID is not a traditional photo, it is a bio-metric photo device, tracking. You can refuse the photo (there are even signs that say you can opt out.) Don't believe their lies that you can't fly without one, you can use a passport instead or tell them you don't have a real ID. They will take you to a table, ask a few questions to make sure it is you, search your luggage and off you go.

If fully implemented, the law would facilitate the tracking of data on individuals and bring government into the very center of every citizen’s life. By definitively turning driver’s licenses into a form of national identity documents, Real ID would have a tremendously destructive impact on privacy.

I miss Fry's. It was nice if you were building your own PC to go in and get parts immediately. Amazon with their unfair no-taxes that crippled big box stores and mom and pop's, and Netflix for videos by mail (remember getting DVD's in the mail?) and then streaming began wiping out most of these, except Friendly's.

Good info here. You will have to read the author's article to answer your questions, I marked as 'source' above. I did read on a more recent article that I2P can be a little slower than a VPN because, I guess it is decentralized, all those node paths the info has to travel?? Believe me, if something happens to the company that hosts my "lifetime" VPN purchase, I will most likely switch to I2P.
