“Californian’s will soon be sitting in the dark each night...”
I’ve been calling it “techno feudalism” for at least 3 years.
They want the glory days of the elites, while the rest of us are serfs.
They won’t give the tech up, and they’ll use it to supress the serfs, hence the techno part.
“… they are making moves to ban most agriculture…”
One of my elderly neighbors was a sharecropper’s son, and he said he never wanted to see another mule as long as he lived. He lied about his age so he could join the Army just to get out of Georgia.
A good Christian man, he worked hard and eventually became a co-owner of a large fleet of construction trucks and equipment. He still gets, on occasion, the odd milk jug of moonshine from the folks he left behind, which he shares with his younger neighbors.
