    They don’t appear to be complaining about it.

    Seems to me that the real snowflakes are the ones who complain but don’t do anything to actually solve the problem. They keep supporting the same people that are continually working to take those “freedoms” away in the name of “security.” Yet nothing actually changes.

    Where I come from, when you complain about things you expect other people to fix and don’t do anything else about it, that’s whining.

    That happens regardless of what you pay with, though with cash, buying basics such as fuel, groceries is not tracked back to you individually. Interestingly enough the use of cryptocurrencies was to break the tracking ability, so purchases of what you were doing are not tracked directly to you, which makes crypto attractive for criminal activities.

    the concept of trading goods & services, via a common denominator that recognizes value will remain a part of civilized society.
    You want to go back to a freedom of where the value, the contribution you provide to Society, and what you trade is not tracked? There is the freedom of being in a solitary subsistence living where your family unit is fully self sufficient, or you can graduate to the common community level, where a group of families work together to provide self sufficient life - and the resulting common quality of life for the community is what is tracked, but that sounds strangely close to socialism, or even communism at its core. So you want the freedom where your personal value, in services/goods is not being tracked? - there's your option, follow the typical prepper route, and live independently and completely self sufficient. There are locales around the world that still practice that.

    Why? It's Sand Hollow ORV park, where you can cut trails.

    Impossible not to be tracked these days. Even if you pay with cash, you were probably seen on camera with your licence plate visible while pumping gas. The GPS on your phone shows you were there too.

    And here I was thinking the Panamera was ugly.

    I'm sure most Taycan owners wish their car more closely resembled a 1980's GM crap box.

    Convert to mid engine or electric to fit that hood slant.

    Yeah, unless you go full Edward Lyle, you're being tracked now or will be soon.

    A guy I used to work with had one of these.

    Front engine/FWD converted to mid engine/RWD.

    It was a raucous ride!

    His looked nearly identical to this.
