Folks,
Apparently, Bozeman is on a list of cities around the country considering smart city status.
Why is Bozeman considering CCP and WEF type models, where data is collected, to be usedfor who knows what? What's next, social credit scores, monitoring of movement, being
blocked from activities if your score isn't good, and owing nothing and you'll be happy? Don'teven go there with the climate change garbage. This isn't about saving the environment. This
is about controlling people, their spending, how they live, what they eat, where they go,whether they've been vaxxed, confining people to a smaller area, and making sure people
follow your rules. Bozeman seems to be embarking on a path to tyranny. This is downright scary and totally out
of character with what Montana and our country is about. Our republic was founded onprinciples of personal freedoms and rights, self-sufficiency and independent spirit.
Apparently, Bozeman thinks we need government to be involved in all aspects of our lives.
