Several years ago someone showed me a video that warned us about the danger of smart meters.

I didn’t take it seriously because the primary claim of that video was how the “radiation” from these meters cause illness. 

I majored in engineering technology so was able to poke holes in all the scientific claims. The video was also designed to scare Boomers into buying some bogus EMF monitoring device.

The missed opportunity was obviously what Chelcie’s thread below covers: explaining how “smart” utility meters will mean the end of personal control of your home environment.

Your electricity, water, gas, A/C, etc. will be throttled under the guise of “environmental justice” aka “equity” IOW artificial scarcity.

And these decisions won’t even be made by your local utility but an unelected, and probably overseas, group of technocrats. Your city council may have already made a “pledge” to this group.

Resisting this will be tough but there’s simple steps you can take right now, like not giving your city control over your smart thermostat in order to get a “rebate.”

Many of my neighbors have also installed whole-home natural gas generators, Tesla solar walls, rain tanks, and the like, in order to actually be resilient. 

We are headed into a cyberpunk world faster than you can imagine.
