With launch costs falling, satellites will carry explosive charges tuned for maximum Kessler Syndrome to dissuade jamming.

Things that were funded without public support: Bank Bailouts while ignoring illegal foreclosures Endless bombing of the Middle East and Africa Logistics support for Saudi Arabia's war against Yemen Ever increasing military budgets ...

Dude, no one is cheering for the installment of a despot in the US.

"It requires a very oppressive regime, extremely deadly in every way. People are thrown into crazy houses, jails, shot, their property is confiscated because they find ways around your utopian society's ideology and methods."

They tend to use credit card, cash on delivery, or bank transfer. Cash on delivery would only work for physical goods. The customer would probably run into problems with international bank transfers (they would probably have to subscribe to another service, such as Lloyd's or JP Bank).
