It’s the welfare-queen strategy: if you can show that 995/1000 people use a safety net as intended, 50% of voters can be convinced that it’s a fraud-soaked boondoggle

Wiping your ass with silk is still significantly more friction than water

There’s nothing stopping you from operating a vpn on 443.

Oh the humanity. They might get deeply inaccurate ideas about the perks of pizza delivery.

Blow up a coal plant?

It honestly feels like something he wrote as a joke

Getting, not buying. A pair of bolt cutters can often be found at your local tool lending library.
