Over the last century, the Land of the Free has slowly transformed into a land governed by endless laws, largely by cracking down on vices instead of actual crimes, creating a society that would render us all criminals if our behavior were constantly observed. Meanwhile, the state has steadily expanded its use of mass surveillance, largely under the pretext of fighting “terror.”
This is a toxic mixture.
It’s not necessarily bad, just old technology. Before you had computer-controlled ignition timing, they used distributors- it’s a small circular thing about the size of a small bowl with a wire lead on a pole that spins around and hits electrical leads spaced around it to trigger the spark plug ignitions. They are pretty simple but they can wear out.

Interesting.
Thanks for the explanation!
