    “Secure your bank info” Always good advice.

    “Talk to your bank about physical banking.” Is this person terminally online? Physical banking is always an option. If Trump pulls something radical, physically going to the bank won’t change anything. Your money, unless it is dollars under your mattress, is always only a number on a computer even at a Credit Union where you can physically withdrawal money.

    Get a landline phone? Landline Phones are routed through IP networks like cell phones. While there are some POTS still in service, you cannot order new POTS service. Nor does it offer any security over an IP phone. The government required landline phones to be monitored back in the 1990’s. This isn’t the 1960’s.

    " Everything will be routed through StarLink" StarLink is a satellite service. It is physically incapable of handling the global traffic going over fiber.

    “Get a phone without StarLink.” Although it’s technically possible that StarLink could be used to spy on you, it’s completely unnecessary when the cell service companies already provide everything to the government easier and cheaper than StarLink. StarLink is only one other group of frequencies of the dozens your phone already can use for local or foreign roaming.

    Don’t use StarLink because it supports Musk.
