All my thoughts would be about guillotines.

I predict a distinct change in the tone and content of ATC radio instructions. Use of the gamer word will skyrocket.

The main way that the US has projected its culture throughout the world has vastly diminished. We're in a setting sun empire, and it's unfortunate that self-decsribed patriots choose to bury their head in the sand and deny reality itself. Effectively the greatest anti-American threat we have faced as the people who insist that nothing is wrong, and that we should go back to the good old days, regardless of where the rest of the world is today. A bunch of isolationist weirdos that are convinced they can run a tiny hermit kingdom better than the last half century of liberal economics and massive growth under globalization.

Can we punish people for uploading to the cloud. And punish the cloud for retaining, redistributing, and reselling what appears to be illegally obtained videos? Is that too much to ask?

With all the real problems we have here in California, why did you bother making up a few fake ones. To serve some narrative?

I don't think any adults will watch it, but young children will land there and harmed by it.

liquid chalk marker tied to an extendable pole. just a little dab and nobody has to climb a ladder or buy a bunch of dufflebags and locks.
even cheaper would be cornstarch and water like to paint on a car windshield (for sale, just married, etc), but applying it is a little less obvious than above.

Step 1: Make a lot of crimes, such that everyone is at least technically a criminal

Step 2: Stop enforcing the laws against traditional property crimes (theft, vandalism, burglary, etc)

Step 3: Propose cameras, claiming to use them to solve crime problem. People rejoice

Step 4: Use cameras to catch all those crimes you made in step 1. Continue to fail to enforce laws against traditional property crimes.

Step 5: Put on trollface, ask citizens who are being fined and jailed and having guns stuck in their face "We're catching criminals, isn't that what you wanted?"

There is little in the way of resources on the state or federal level to assist local government in establishing and managing an effective IT and SecOps department.
