The thing that is entirely possible coming out of this is a boon for PMCs getting hired for far more visible corporate security. Hotels and roads shut down for CEOs as if they are heads of state. I guess it was inevitable and cyberpunk really is just life imitating art
Nah, Ukraine has already shown the world how regular consumer grade drones can be used as very effective military grade weapons. No need for a roadside IED when you can fly the IED right to their face.
Yeah the second amendment crowd is about to go hard on drones to ensure their saviors remain safe. Weird how they are the first ones in line at school shootings about how guns aren’t the problem but they’re being pretty quiet about a dude shooting a guy across the street using a silenced pistol
Fwiw I’m a gun guy who supports common sense legislation and whatever it is we are talking about here ;) not defending corpos that’s for fucking sure. V for vendetta becoming a history movie would be fine with me. Also fuck uvalde cops and republicans who say “now is not the time to discuss gun laws”
I believe all Americans who have gone through proper background checks and the like should be able to buy and own a gun. I’m saving up for a USP 45. But I do think that owning an AR with a bump stock is pretty clearly a line that should be drawn, as an example.
As you said, we need to discuss gun laws, and the time is often best when guns are used to kill innocents. So maybe now isn’t the time, but it should have been the time long ago.
There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.

I’m not gonna tell you how to do your job

Probably because the hatred of health insurance companies is universal? It’s not like they deny claims based on who you voted for.
…yet
True. Let’s not give them any ideas…
