The bigger picture is the the Gallello satellite system is the final part of. The satellite system has been built with the technology to track every vehicle in the EU. Will be able to monitor location and speed. There are still some technical issues with the tracking before it becomes active

Legislation is already in place for the EU to then tax all movement and issue fines. No doubt when it is working will be looking for other countries to make use of the system - for a percentage of the take no doubt

They may as well just add a printer into the dashboard of the car and then it can print out a fine whenever the law for speed, changing lanes without signalling, failing give way, etc is contravened.

They want to know how much you have in savings and where, they want to know who gives you money and who you give money to, again so they can get their cut. They want to know how much you have under your mattress. Hence why there has been a...... well not a push, but gentle nudges towards a cashless economy.

On the under the mattress economy, I read somewhere recently that of all the $100 and $50 notes that have been minted and those official destroyed, there are significantly less in circulation than there should be. So who has a lumpy mattress???

They already know how much I earn and spend so no skin off my back. Seems to be the only ones bothered by these sort of things are those doing the wrong thing.
