First tool ban is here! A new law was just signed in New York that requires blueprint blocking technology on every CNC machine, laser cutter, lathe and 3D printer. This affects everyone who makes, builds or fixes things. This isn't a firearms law. It's a manufacturing law. And they buried it in the budget because they knew exactly what it was.

My what an unrelated and strangely slightly off-topic question. Whatever are you getting at?

    "Dogs" in "unions for the dogs" refers to cops. And police unions are stupidly powerful.

    Pretty sure that’s not what they meant. No one calls cops “dogs”

    I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you are not a native English speaker and not just sea lioning. Here is the break down for you:

    Socialism for the rich = subsidized losses for the rich, see every bailout for the past forever

    Unions for the dogs = police unions. Incredibly powerful unions that prevent cops from being held accountable in any way. They can kill a guy and the union will prevent them from being fired. All other unions are subject to union breaking efforts often by means of the police

    Scraps for the rest = you get nothing, you own nothing, your unions will be attacked by all means available
