    I look forward to the day that corporations lose a lawsuit and openly admit that they poisoned all of humanity.

    After that, I expect the corporations to sue all of humanity for harboring their IP. Of course, they'll win their case in a Texas court and will make multitudes more than they'll ever have to disburse in payouts

    I live in Michigan and sell to manufacturers. This is terrific news to be in manufacturing sales in Michigan.

    Me too, although politics is making me more interested in sailing away from the US at the moment.

    Current Focus: Ohio River (Cincinnati to Louisville) to Canada to Montreal (Quebec) to Nova Scotia to Maine] [Secondarily any of the great lakes or the ohio river; Mississippi still a possible]

    A water-based, sustainable effort, with a view to a better quality of life. (tentative statement) disclaimer: almost all of this is planned; the only actuals are a couple of sailboats on the ohio river; there are no requirements for supporting one another

    They wanted to use "3M" but it turns out that one's already taken by a company that makes more red tape than all politicians alive or dead combined.

    You... do know the government has armies, right? And drones and Intelligence and helicopters and machine guns and missiles...

    Meal Team Six LARPers coordinating with their shotguns and single-shot rifles have no chance.

    While it is comforting to know most of the military would keep their oath, some may not. Much more damage can be done with ARs. While for the most part I don’t believe the Trumpers will do much, some of them will
