Could be sarcasm, but I'm treating it as not.

Well, I don't think we should just get on with life. The future of free societies requires collective control over how technology is used, with certain inalienable tenets: chiefly, that advanced technology is never consolidated into federal custody.
This is to guarantee, as much as possible, that governments will not repress our rights. Countries with oppressive regimes are mainly a thing in the 'developing world', with most using little 'modern' technology to achieve oppression. The advancement and use of such sophisticated technology, monopolised by governments, is just asking for trouble.
However, it will most likely take many years before they'll be able to track the entire human race. I'm also having it hard to find a reason as to why they would like to track every square meter on earth or even to base the surveillance on high resolution area coverage at all. Satellites are good for precise data gathering and following one specific object. For instance, if you're going to track a big chunk of people, you can't approach it the same way. The moment that group splits you would need a bunch of satellites to track them and the cost of that is incredibly high.
Ransomware is more about manipulating vulnerabilities in human psychology than the adversary’s technological sophistication.
