Thanks to Republicans There Is A New Auto Mileage Tax Tracked Electronically in Every New Car

Excerpt:
"Joe Biden and the Republicans – without whom Joe Biden could not have done it – may have just outlawed cars that can’t be tracked without actually outlawing them, per se. Instead, they will be regulated away – the new trick in government’s dirty bag thereof.

It might have caused a ruckus to propose a law outlawing older vehicle without Onboard Diagnostic (OBD II) electronic data collection ports, GPS transponders or some other, similar means by which a vehicle can be externally tracked – using the pretext of keeping track of its mileage that way, so as to tax its owner that way. This being bad enough all by itself, being invasive enough all by itself. Instead of paying gas taxes anonymously at the pump whenever you fill up – possibly with cash – the federal government will tax automatically and electronically you by the mile, wherever you drive.

Which will also give the government – and the insurance mafia, which is also effectively the government, just ex officio but endowed with governmental power to make you do things or else – the power to monitor how you drive, since the same OBD data port/GPS that will be used to keep track of mileage can also keep track of how fast you drive as well as where and when you drive.

Everything about your drive will, in other words, be known unto them.

That is one of the many treasures hidden within the just-passed – by enabling Republicans, who provided the necessary support for the Democrats who confected it – “Infrastructure” bill. Which only has about 20 percent to do with building new roads and bridges or fixing the ones that exist and 80 percent to do with funding various projects that almost no one wishes to fund voluntarily, as by paying for them willingly.

    I figured out how to disconnect the speedometer cable in my dad's 1954 Ford when I was a teenager - I can figure out how to disarm the GPS tracker. Tyranny is alive and well.

    1992 D250 with a Cummins engine. 12 mpg. Also a 1910 bike-axle buggy and the horses to haul it about.

    That 4.9L six was infinitely reliable, but horrible power and mileage. 5.8 (351) Windsor for me.

    They'll eventually come after everybody who isn't currently being tracked. They'll tell you "OK, you can keep your old car. All you need to do is put this GPS transponder in it, and pay us a one-time carbon payment of $10,000, and you'll be rubbed clean in the eyes of we, your masters. (Until we decide we want more money.)"
