I kinda understand it has to do with frequencies and the speed they can send information but I don't know enough to have a productive conversation with those that think it's mind altering cancer rays. Thats also what i keep running into online when I'm trying to find a dummy version for how it all works. I know I'll probably never be able to have a truly productive conversation with those types but i would like to have a better understanding myself.

It would be helpful to explain and frame it with radio and public broadcasting as well. to me, these are all happy information rays that send me thing i like but i don't full understand the technology behind it.

Thanks everyone this has been super helpful! Might try and make an info graph for to hang in my post box since I've gotten some crazy anti 5g flyers recently

Did you mean go carts can't go on public roads?

So that would be why there needs to be more towers, for more go cart postie gangs? This analogy is helpful, thanks

    You got it! And the go-cart idea is not perfect because some regions have different rules, but in most suburban areas of the United States you cannot drive go carts or even golf carts on public roads, only on subdivisions and private roads.
