I know adventurism like this would probably lead to life getting worse for all of us somehow. But I’m just feeling really jokerfied lately and want to see the hogs get scared for once. I hope if it happens again they get Musk or Theil because they’re so goddamn annoying, but capping an insurance board member or majority stake holder would be pretty cool.

    If this happens again, even if it doesnt maybe, i expect to see massive crackdowns nationwide on mask wearing. Itll be made illegal to cover your face and wear a hood in public. Theyll push even harder for facial recognition and try to track everyones movements. Theyll push harder to phase out cash since cash is harder to track. Make inter-state travel without an ID impossible. Etc. Theyll go full surveilance state mask off fash to protect their own.

      Too bad you really no longer need to be positioned within a straight shot of someone to permanently interrupt their biological functioning.

      All that security for nothing.

      I don’t see how they could feasibly ban interstate travel without an ID. Even if they put checkpoints at state line crossings on every single Interstate highway there are probably dozens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of other roads they would have to account for. In Rhode Island alone I counted 154 roads that cross into Connecticut or Massachusetts which don’t lead to dead ends.

        require ID for all non-personal vehicles, and then use cameras to track the plates of all cars going across state lines. So theyd be able to ID the vast majority of people.

      Technically, wearing a mask in public is already illegal in NYS.

      Scientology used that law to great effect during Chanology. Lots of peeps got arrested for wearing masks while protesting them.
