In Socal we're scanned by more than 18 cameras just driving 8 miles to Costco.

Small little ruralish tourist town, we got em at Lowe's and Walmart, and 2 in one of the highest traffic areas. Thinking about seeing to sign for the meth heads letting them know there's valuable metal (gold) in dem ~~hills~~ cameras

Couldn't I just run for president and abuse my "power" like Trump, but instead of doing lots of bad I could do good? Id start by making all these executive orders to raise wealth taxes, ban invasive technologies, limit social media influence, or big tech's reach into buying out politicians, etc...

Think Robin Hood but on a presidential scale.

You could try.

My wager is you'd be assassinated, but for a glorious and short time you'd be the most successful American president in history. There's a reason why Congress term-limited presidents after FDR. People want presidents that actually do good shit. It's just that we never get a choice between two good people ever.

Yeah, seeing how they wouldn't offer secret service to RFK Jr when he ran for the short time, I'd certainly be SOL. I'd imagine I get the ol' Russian "threw myself out the window" treatment or some other suicide thing..
