I'd like to see the resulting hilarity if Michigan bans VPNs.

No one could telecommute.

To fix a problem on a remote server, the tech would have to drive to that facility.

Subcontractors would have to work onsite.

That's not how it's worked for a long time.

Neil Young wrote on his website that the “time is here.”

“FORGET AMAZON. Soon my music will not be there. It is easy to buy local. Support your community. Go to the local store. Don’t go back to the big corporations who have sold out America,” he railed.
