This is what I meant by my post regarding older folks. Their experience and knowledge allow them to see patterns in all the same stuff we talk about, day in and day out. We need to listen to our elderly. We are literally dooming ourselves to the same mistakes they observed when they were younger (the encroachment of authoritarianism and Marxism). The 5G telecom equipment from China thing? Real. And the US companies were stupid enough to fall for "cheap but reliable Chinese products." They build in backdoors that can snoop on the OFDMA encrypted comms. We are at war with China. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is a fact. Even-China-Dick-Sucking-Democratic Politico is writing articles about this: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/21/us-telecom-companies-huawei-00047045 >U.S. security officials have warned under both the Trump and Biden administrations that two Chinese companies in particular — Huawei and ZTE — are beholden to China’s government and a major national security risk. They have pointed to a potential for spying and foreign meddling if their routers, antennas and radios aren’t yanked out of U.S. cell phone and internet networks.
