Edit: lol I appreciate all the Nintendo fans, but I don’t think people understood the assignment. I see a lot of things that would still be crimes and/or are ethical.
Also, obviously 99% of regulations affect the wealthy, and at the end of the day they will just have more power.
If all federal regulations are going away, what’s the best way to abuse the Tragedy of the Commons before my neighbor does it to me? Or is it truly the case that there are zero federal regulations that affect normal people?
I’ve spent a career in places with very little rule of law or effective governance.
The only thing that can give you a sliver of hope is to physically be close to a community that is tight-knit and competent homesteaders. This is African village rules. Force and money are all that matters. Life is cheap. Food is scarce and untrustworthy unless you farm it yourself. Cities are nightmares of abuse with pockets for the super-wealthy behind walls.
Real life examples like Lagos are hard to explain to Americans. Parable of the Sower gets close and is a book worth a read.
Such a good book
I was going to say armed insurrection, but on second thought that might be ethical under those circumstances.
Unethically probably the most gain could be in manufacturing fake medicine. Cheap inputs, expensive prices.
Ah, in fact, even better for repeat customers: Making real medicine and selling the hard stuff over the counter (assuming drug schedules are “regulation”).
That’s already a thing it’s called homeopathic medicine
Fair point, but without regulations your claims can be way wilder, and you don’t have to make stuff safe to ingest anymore. Overall I think quackery can become even more profitable.
Yea, organized resistance is both ethical and the only real option that isn’t nihilism.
Sell meth to Musk’s gang? Get them hooked.
All drugs should be legal
Those regulations exist for a reason. Be the reason.
I don’t mean “do the thing”, make it clear to them why the thing was banned. If you don’t know, look into your history books.
Like how Stephen Colbert setup his own SuperPac on air, showing how many ridiculous and unethical things are legal with US’ current campaign finance laws.
To be fair, not all reasons are good.
Create a buisness in the US to facilitate any illegal activity you want, but physically leave the country for your safety
Rhymes with squeegee.
Call the BeeGees?
Go to Fiji?
It’s cute that you think anyone but the richest people and biggest corporations will be deregulated.
Yup, this is classic “we’ll abolish the EPA but your 8 year old still is forbidden from running a lemonade stand.”
Be musk
reminder that killing ceos is great and all but it wont fundamentally change things.
one big general strike will do way more for people.
Organizing, same as it always was.
I work for a big corp that already ignores their own regulations :) I’ll start opening products, pissing in them, and putting them back on the shelf. It won’t help anything but I’ll personally enjoy it
Garson, I’ll avoid the lobster bisque and the meringue pie please.
@teawrecks Make a load of dirty bombs and rob banks with them.
I think maybe I’ll just open an online shop that sells everything that’s illegal. Only I won’t ship anything and I’ll keep all the money for myself. It won’t take long for that to catch up to me, but it’ll be fun for about five minutes.
