They seek to hide the truth, by burying the truth-tellers.

the "stop doing math" meme except it says "STOP DRIVING CARS". the meme reads: * PEOPLE WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ISOLATED IN CAGES * YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for building ONE MORE LANE * Wanted to travel large distances anyway for a laugh?
