## Resource

Is your car watching you? I’m joined by automotive expert Lauren Fix, who exposes the multifront assault on American car ownership, from skyrocketing prices and insurance to the terrifying reality of mandated kill switches and surveillance tech. Lauren explains how government regulations, the EV mandate, and the push for "15-minute cities" are purposely making the good old American automobile scarce, unaffordable, and less reliable. Discover the dark truth about the "smart" technology invading modern vehicles, how data centers are fueling a new chip shortage, and why your car's privacy features are really just feeding a techno-feudalist surveillance state. If you value your privacy, your property, and your freedom of movement, you cannot afford to miss this deep dive into the real agenda behind the modern auto industry.
