Don't waste time making solutions in search of problems. Some doodad isn't going to help anyone. Nobody is wiring up an arduino lora whatever gadget. 'B-but just buy the modules and conn...' Stop. It's useless. Doesn't help anyone. No on is fidgeting with an Arduino sketch and some antenna wires and checking the 18650 battery while trying send packets to a guy over there. None of this matters when you're all getting pepper sprayed with boots on your neck.

Your parents witnessed the fall of communism. We are here to witness the fall of capitalism. Your stocks will be worthless. Don't worry about taxes.
