Some of us know how this plays out.
It has been my experience in life that if the human mind imagines it or thinks of it, it is not only possible, but in many cases, inevitable.
I am sure there are people (even some right here on Free Republic) who would say “Oh, you are over-reacting. That won’t happen.”
I would say “Really? Did you see what happened in Communist China when people wanted to travel to the big regional cities to protest the destruction of their investment in real estate (apparently, the only investment open to non-CCP citizens)? Their COVID QR codes that must be GREEN to go ANYWHERE outside of their house all changed to RED on the morning they were supposed to travel.
How fitting.
