Man, love all the options 🤣 I assumed there would be one or two, but it seems we have tons of options. Thanks for the great info!

I sincerely hope this government goes away soon. I also acknowledge it is much easier to ask someone else on the Internet to do it than it is to do the work myself. The more you have to lose the harder it becomes to risk it. Everyone has something they don't want to lose. I think there is a balancing game to be played here by everyone. Support as much as you can while not over extending yourself. Doing nothing is the wrong answer. I don't think one person will come in and save us. A tidal wave of small actions could.

I think politicians are obsessed with messaging and media over actually doing anything. I think protests make for good TV/visual messaging that politicians can't ignore. Perhaps a real path forwards is massive protest turnout and speaking with reporters. Catchy protest signs. I think that is how you speak a politician's language without lobbying money.

It's an amazing building! There is a bar at the top and the only way up is with a glass elevator that is terrifying to ride on.

Some may go as far as to call them deplorable

I'm pretty sure Ireland is where all the major companies are "headquartered" and technically keep all their money there for tax reasons. Ireland could just freeze the bank accounts of Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Intel, ... Or do something similar if they so choose as retaliation. Would be devastating financially afterwards, but would get the US's full attention

I'll commit to commenting more. I prefer to lurk, but the fediverse needs me 🤣

Tax the property. Tax it so high they have to sell it, creating a greater supply of property which then reduces the price of property and the cost of living. Economics 101

I'm no authority on anything involved in such an idea, but I just can't imagine how the economics of a vacuum tunnel could be viable. The maintenance costs on constantly running lots of industrial scale vacuums sounds crazy expensive. I hate trying to keep good suction out my vacuum cleaner and imagine at huge scales things get harder, not easier. Maybe there are clever people who have a solution for that and it's not a big deal though. No clue.

If there are no consequences for your actions, you may see no reason to change your behavior. This person got a consequence and may change their behavior for the better in the future, making society better for all of us.

I advocate for a fork of uBlock: adnauseam. It's a bit financially adversarial which I deeply enjoy, at the cost of using a bit of data. In theory if it built up enough users, advertisers would stop buying clickable ads all together.
