The strike thing is complicated, but generally, democracy does not mean "1 person 1 vote, majority rules" or even any of the representative variations. Living under a tyranny of the 51% is not democracy for the 49%. Democracy mean

That's technologically cool, but isn't "switch from adblock to uMatrix" a more direct and comprehensive solution?

This works but it becomes a grind, especially on sites that fail in subtle ways until you realize why they are broken. And clicking in the matrix is kind of finicky, which the magic spots for subdomain vs domain. There's a lot of room

That's just a police state with extra steps. Why not make breathing illegal and give cops discretion to only arrest "bad" people? Also, dealing is very different from using.

What would justify such a law, in a free country like the USA? Even socialised medicine countries can't force private providers to charge constant rates to their private clients.

Getting a surprise $100M is different from managing your portfolio. Aggressive means easy to lose it all due to ignorance or fraud. Getting a dozen mulligans via installments is good insurance against losing it all.

Large corporations are inefficient also. People work all day sewing clothes but all the profits are siphoned off by foreign capitalists.

What? Opiate abuse is caused by pharma companies and complicit doctors and hateful governments and law enforcement, not operating systems and office suites and xboxes.

If you want to blow a whistle, yes. If not dismantle, at least photograph the object. If your employer retaliates, you can make good money in speaker fees retelling the story, or get a job at a company that wants to be known for good hardwa

We are pretty far off from humans living the thousands of years needed to directly witness the evolution of consciousness species wide. You'd see much more variation by surveying geneticallh remote people alive today.
