  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

You cut off a few more heads, and they'll start to be a little more cautious with their shitty actions.

Meaning they will use healthcare dollars to hire more security.

Of course they'll also have to increase their margins to account for that.

Wishful thinking. They will double down on their shitty actions while surrounded by more security than a monarch.

There is a limit to how much that kind of security can help.

I guess the logical progression is to go after the most accessible level...meaning eventually the office workers would probably be a target, which isn't great.

That, or people go after, like, their extended families instead...which isn't exactly great either...

Maybe flooding a country with firearms and putting them into its constitution isn't such a good idea

Worst case there is they have to pay for it and more money goes to working people. If they're in a serious threat of danger, I'm sure security costs increase too.
