Brother's dumb, covid denying girlfriend has also jumped on 15-minutes cities as the next thing she's gonna champion and rally against.
Made the mistake of pointing out how through a manufacturing issue, a lot of the LED street lights they have installed are going to turn purple/blue which spiraled into a "You know those cones on the top of the street lights? They were never there before and don't do anything. They've only been added now so they can be removed later and they can put in scanners and cameras in their place to force you to stay in your zone."
Didn't get into how I know I remember them from at least 30 years ago, there is photographic evidence of them from long before that and how they DO serve a purpose as the photocell sensors that tell them when it's dark enough so they turn on. It's just not worth it.

Mentioned it to my brother later, who is an electrician, and he said "Oh did she get on that stupid shit again? I've already told her what the things are for."
