The amount of waste may be unfathomable, but is layoffs really going to correct it? Instead a culture shift to be more frugal might work better. The criticism is that most of these companies will go right back to hiring tomorrow.

Is equality a goal in its own? Think of the incentives you setup. People won't be build large long lasting corporate institutions. Also "disbursing funds", sounds an awful lot like liquidate investments. Is that a good idea?

Disrupts maritime infrastructure and NATO would start escorting Russian ships home. If not straight up convert their navy into a submarine only fleet. I don't think the west would take kindly to commerce raiders, or cutting of cables.
