Hmm, I'd not realised Pluto's influence is ending in 2030. That may explain the bizarre insistence on 2030-related goals around various human enslavement-based activities, such as banning the sale of petrol powered cars (to be replaced with automated taxis which log your movements and electric cars that charge you by the mile, logged of course, by GPS) , ambitions on 'smart cities' (which again, track your every movement using apps and facial recognition), getting rid of cash, and other spurious environmental goals for logging carbon credits to track your purchases and everything being made by robots. It's difficult to see how vast banks of computer servers busily chugging through mountains of personal data could ever be seen as environmentally conscious, but then I'm not a politician.

Aside from just being an arbitrary round number, I'd also wondered if some sort of demonic bargain runs out then, or is due to be collected, hence the slightly panicked frenzy which these useless new technologies are being pushed out with. The Plutonic influence fading may explain it though.
