By 2030 you won’t own anything, and you’ll be happy OR ELSE!

Consider how social media companies have acted in recent years, stirring concerns about “Big Tech Censorship.” These corporations pressed their thumbs on the scale of public discourse by banning certain personalities, suppressing content, and demonetizing viewpoints.

Is it inconceivable that some of these same corporations, or others like them, could exercise similar practices in the transportation sector?

Could people be denied access to transportation services based on their political beliefs or statements they have made on social media (which has happened already)? Could access be limited to curtail climate change? Could Environmental, Social, and Governance or other corporate social credit systems encourage companies to restrict travel based on a user’s carbon footprint? Could the political winds of the day lead platforms to restrict rides to a firearms store, a church, or a specific political rally?

The original “you’ll own nothing” article was meant to illustrate an economy where goods and assets were increasingly provided as services rather than sold directly to consumers. The reason that article drew such backlash is the same reason we should be vigilant about the future described by Uber’s CEO.

When someone else owns the thing in question, they make the rules, not you.

The above was excerpted from this article HERE!

Is it possible that sleazy companies like Blackrock will own millions of vehicles and they will then establish the laws surrounding driving – including making it illegal for people to own and drive their own vehicle?
