      Yes, all the things they’re doing are indeed part of a plan and all of that plan is bad. It’s more that some of what they’re doing (right now, actively) is hurting people and setting up for even worse things. Erasure is bad but you’ve gotta pick your battles, its much harder to stop any of this when they take away your ability to vote.

      Any sane regulatory body would go, “These obviously apply here. It’s the same location just under a different name.”

      Unfortunately, though, with the Chevron decision that came out not too long ago, I’m pretty confident that any such pushback will be immediately thrown to the courts and likely shot down.

        They should switch to declaring areas with lat and long. Names are insignificant to the unwavering Equator.
