    Why is my commute time increasing exponentially? If I were to do 9 to 5, I'd spend over 4 hours / day on the road? Thankfully, for now I do 7 to 3 when I can. Still that used to be 1.5 hours / day to 2 hours and 20 minutes which isn't terrible for the GTA. But it won't get better. I'm looking for a new job downtown so I can ride a bike (or take the bus) to the go train and leave my truck at home.

    Pretty much and you can blame pedestrians and drivers for everything too. Keep in mind gas will be over $2 a liter soon with trudeau/dipper duo in power to meet a 2030 fake solution to a fake climate problem.

    Attended many presentations and demos by white hat hackers, FBI, US Secret Service, RCMP, etc, on dark web, credit card number lists, account takeovers, dark money, financial hacking, global money flows, etc. A lot of bad people out there sitting behind computers trying to fund global organized crime and terrorism.
    My mom used to work for one of the big banks, her strongest message was never to use the debit card. Me and my wife never use our debit cards, heck I don't even carry it with me. I would rather my CC get hit which is far easier to correct verse your bank account. I do have a back up CC with my bank, the CC that got compromised was my points card. Oh well...

    Yeah, if debit card gets hit then your bank account gets frozen by the bank until they sort it out - not good when you have pre-auth payments coming out. Easy to get credit card replaced. I have Aeroplan, Air Miles, and Amex Cobalt cards so can easily switch among them if there's a problem. Also keep two USD cards because until they got chip in the US, cards were regularly compromised at POS (mag stripe is easy to replicate).

    Over the past few weeks and in the coming weeks I've been busy installing tracking devices for a customer - maybe two hundred in total - the irony in all this is during the past few months and over the coming years (hopefully two) I've been and will be eliminating the things in my life that require what I feel is excessive and unnecessary tracking. It's understandable the need for tracking but I feel the need for excessive communications and constant tracking is an expense I don't want to afford in the future and something we lived without in the past. Tracking in my opinion has become a clever development of generating income for nothing really in return (that I can understand in many cases) Tracking has always been there but it seems to be more complex further eating up free time and expense. My biggest fear aging, is will I be able to understand and adapt to tracking?

    We’ve been “tracked” is some way or form since birth
    These guys may have the answer to your questions- if you can find them ( they are off the grid)
    If we’re talking about the same “tracking”

    it's mainly the cost and complexity of tracking expenses that concerns me when I'm old and stupider...lol - not worried about being tracked that's would be disappointing in the end....lol
