Apparently you haven’t seen the TikToks in fast food joints, malls, and the like?

Let me describe it; poor people looting and beating up employees.

America today is living the problem at a small scale.

I’m not saying it’s their fault. 100% the fault of a the general public as a whole for continuing to buy into promises of arbitrary meat suits projecting non-existent authority (society’s laws are not immutable physics).

IMO the Tim Leary approach is 100% the correct approach. Less than 1 million sworn LEO inclusive of local, county, state, federal agencies. That small a police force in the land of 2A rights has no chance. Probably not even needed, just a sincere threat and the gerontocracy would have to pay attention. It does not so long as the market bears it.

160 million of Gen Alpha, GenZ, and Millennials have little to lose since they can’t afford anything and the vigor of youth on their side. They have little to fear from a handful of aging rich.

This is a great way to put it.
