Alas, there are many dedicated conspiracy theorists fighting “the machine“ because they fear 5G, WiFi radiation, weather control, or any of a number of other imagined ills. I recall the incident in Los Angeles, where 5G installers had to leave the site because of protesters, who then tried to burn down the pole. The protesters later attributed the burn marks to directed energy weapons. You cannot make this stuff up. Where there’s a will, there’s a whacko. -mel
