    I work for a big corp that already ignores their own regulations :) I’ll start opening products, pissing in them, and putting them back on the shelf. It won’t help anything but I’ll personally enjoy it

    Create a buisness in the US to facilitate any illegal activity you want, but physically leave the country for your safety

    I’ve spent a career in places with very little rule of law or effective governance.

    The only thing that can give you a sliver of hope is to physically be close to a community that is right-knit and competent homesteaders. This is African village rules. Force and money are all that matters. Life is cheap. Food is scarce and untrustworthy unless you farm it yourself. Cities are nightmares of abuse with pockets for the super-wealthy behind walls.

    Real life examples like Lagos are hard to explain to Americans. Parable of the Sower gets close and is a book worth a read.

    I was going to say armed insurrection, but on second thought that might be ethical under those circumstances.

    Unethically probably the most gain could be in manufacturing fake medicine. Cheap inputs, expensive prices.

    Ah, in fact, even better for repeat customers: Making real medicine and selling the hard stuff over the counter (assuming drug schedules are “regulation”).

        (homeopathy) n. a complementary therapy based on the theory that ‘like cures like’. It involves treating a condition with a tiny dose of a substance that in larger doses would normally cause or aggravate that condition.

        No, I think they mean actual medicine my guy, based on science. If it’s “homeopathic” and it works, we just call it medicine.

        Fair point, but without regulations your claims can be way wilder, and you don’t have to make stuff safe to ingest anymore. Overall I think quackery can become even more profitable.

    It’s cute that you think anyone but the richest people and biggest corporations will be deregulated.

      Yup, this is classic “we’ll abolish the EPA but your 8 year old still is forbidden from running a lemonade stand.”

    reminder that killing ceos is great and all but it wont fundamentally change things.

    one big general strike will do way more for people.

      You’re right. CEOs are often times at board meetings with the whole C level and shareholders.

      One big general airstr-

      Oh you’re talking about angry signs and picketing outside? Nevermind

    Those regulations exist for a reason. Be the reason.

    I don’t mean “do the thing”, make it clear to them why the thing was banned. If you don’t know, look into your history books.

    I think maybe I’ll just open an online shop that sells everything that’s illegal. Only I won’t ship anything and I’ll keep all the money for myself. It won’t take long for that to catch up to me, but it’ll be fun for about five minutes.
