"I'd go on a Vegan diet but the delivery time from Vega is too long."

Like a letter and a phone call. They send you a self addressed stamped envelope. You send one half of the code via mail and call them with the other half.
Accounts deactivate at a regular interval and need a reactivation code gets mailed. I'm sure someone can game this but it slows them down.

Pournelle's Iron Law

I'm fairly sure that is a facet of that law. You have a less than stellar engineer who goes into management to cover his sins with real engineers flesh. They do tend to keep an organization alive. It would be helpful if there were a clandestine organization that assasinated upper level beurocrats in both government and quazi government entities but that's never going to happen.

Our current contestant is at Stage 1 and has gorged herself on 1 pound of prime poisonous 'shrooms.

There is NO magic panacea you have to meet EVERY credible threat. If you're thinking that you can sit in your bunker and throw missiles and drones out you're a fool.

I'd fill mine with cadaverine and mercaptan then put it near the desk of the woman that bathes and gargles in Emerude, cause she cooks up the bacon and brings it home like a man.

If you want freedom you need to make a country. I'd suggest one in orbit. Then those countries that don't want to be smoking craters will leave you the hell alone. Then colonize the moon.

If you do that with every website then gmail123, amazon123 etc is your password.

My bank sucks since it will not allow all of that output, just 8 characters.

The Nazis bred better Jews. Get over it.

Yep
Option 1) Use your vast political machine to convince congress to once again smash the HOA's in the mouth and allow it.
Option 2) You kill enough people in your community they vote to allow it
      a)or vote to pay for the underground wires
      b) or the remaining bleaters all leave and you ARE the
              HOA and you can do what you want.
Option 3) You destroy the local telecom and plunder all of it's accounts of cold hard cash, launder it and use that to take over their infrastructure.
Option 4) Move.

All of them are expensive, some are more expensive than others. If you pick the most expensive and cruel congratulations Bezos has job for you.

You use the same constitutional provision the Nazi's used to stifle free speech. You've not stopped being evil.

I can forgo ordering from them and keep what they send me for free.

It's the law. :)

The corpratists have made sure the laws were changed so they could slap Made in America on it regardless of what is in it.

We manufacture stuff that is wholly done in China. Not all of the parts were made in China but none of them were made in the US.

All that is needed is some 'expert handwavium' such as a precision finishing touch or calibration, etc.

And as added bonus they can also slap "Union Made" on it.
