Jury nullification only helps if you get an actual jury.

Just a rock or a knife, if you wear the animal down enough. You're probably not biting through the hide though.

Why the fuck is it that when a law is found to be unconstitutional, the state(s) are allowed to keep the law on the books but just can't enforce it? I'd think part of such a decision would include a requirement to repeal the offending law.

Demands?

How about a cap on executive pay? Maybe as some differential vs. the lowest paid employee. Call it 10×. If your lowest paid employee earns $50,000, nobody in the company can earn over $500,000 in total compensation.

A cap on wealth: anything over $1B in gross assets (including stocks, real estate, and other investments) is taxed at 100%. The revenue from this tax should be set aside to fund social safety net and small business development programs.

Now, with a large enough strike, the demands can get even broader:

All political campaigns must be funded by the national government. Each candidate who reaches some required threshold of support gets a grant. Individual donations may be accepted up to a defined cap, and business donations up to a separate cap. Each of these are publicly visible; business donations are individually listed, but individual donations are reported as a lump sum only. Donations must be kept in escrow accounts until the campaign officially accepts them. These caps can be set based on the 'size' of the election, given that a national election necessarily requires more resources than a local one.

All elections move to ranked choice.

We definitely whip shitties in WI, too.

For those wondering, this played out well! OP found someone to take the job. His wife bit on the prank gleefully, was actually thrilled by the idea that OP had a son he didn't know about. When the prank was revealed, she thought it was hilarious. Ultimately pretty wholesome, OP married a keeper.

You don't even have to passive voice it - a simple "I felt upset" is fully valid without assigning blame.
