Get an old car that doesn’t run and an EV conversion kit.

Fascism is an inherently anti-truth ideology.

Next step: ban non-degradable synthetic textiles.

Even a perfect utopian co-op needs regulations beacuse most people don’t know anything about environmental impact or proper safety precautions.

All regulations really do is line the pockets of the already existing companies and make it harder for the small guy working out of his garage.

The small cookie company falls well short of any functional definition of “corporation”.
