A nation-wide walk-out is definitely a fun thought experiment. If we could even have meeting of the minds on a state level, I bet having a single state-wide walk-out would shift political discourse quite a bit. I suspect that there would be an overwhelming fear of it happening again.

Agreed. Personally, I think it is because we don't bother to really teach the Constitution in schools. We summarize the Bill of Rights, read the first line or to of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, and then pretend students understand it.
Growing enough food to feed even one family takes time, effort, and resources. I am sure they would be glad to share, if you are willing to trade one of those things. Pretty quickly we end up working for or bartering with those guys though.
No I mean when the guy in the picture says, "we're going to wreck their economy."
If you don't like his phrasing then it sounds like we agree.
Am I wrong? I was using it as a comparison to jobs that require a similar amount of education and training.
I tried to check and it seemed to be categorized as "unskilled". Didn't really seem like a completely fair assessment so I used "low-skill" instead.
What would you call jobs in this category?
then nobody has to starve at all.
Ah yes, more cannibalism! How long exactly do you think 999 people can survive off of eating one?
I don’t think it is correct to say prison work is slavery.
I wouldn't usually call it that either, but I don't think it is that far of a stretch to understand those who do see it that way.
I'm not sure a sweatshop is a fair comparison since I have never heard that they imprison their "employees" between shifts, or throw them in small rooms if they aren't will to work anymore.
seize assets from rich people
I agree with everything you said except this bit. The 4th Amendment is supposed (glares at imminent domain) to protect us from a tyrannical government seizing our assets just because they want them.
Thank you for your well-thought-out and oh so eloquent opinion.
perhaps the watch becomes the phone rather than an accessory to one.
I was hoping for something like this when the Apple Watch came out, but they were clearly very against the idea.
Dissolve the court. Arrest Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh
Why are you acting like removing Alito was something OC or I said?
That is a lot to unpack, but I think you definitely have a few good ideas.
This in particular is an interesting idea. Would be interesting to see what "good" a "psycopath" could do within certain limits.
