If Musk succeeds in "repealing all regulation", what's the best strategy for a normal person? Unethical answers only.
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?

Hell...suicide, abortion, murder, rape...we need to talk about these things sometimes. If users want to opt-in to trigger word filters, by all means. It should be up to the user if "Rape" and "Musk" are in the same category and shouldn't show up on their screens.

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.

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").

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.

You can't convince a maga to stop voting trump with words, but you can force them if their only other option is dying for the lack of regulations.

in reply to AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor • • •So your solution is to sow more division by believing people who vote Republican are stupid? The same people who believe you are stupid for voting Democrat (or anyone else)? Interesting....
Maybe target the real problem: the system and the people who uphold it. Otherwise you are just a pawn of the wealthy.

We're long overdue for some fuck about and find out time IMO.
