Michael Straight said Lifeward refused to repair his $100,000 exoskeleton, which only had a minor issue with its battery.

      Work inside all of the political institutions to bring about constitutional change. Abolish electoral college etc.

      Vote third party and be public about it.

      Protests are a waste, so taking to the streets doesn’t matter much unless you can gather enough people to create a legitimate violent threat.
