No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

Very brief message, because we are very much at the business end.
LISTS (50 main)
In by TOMORROW
HMs (+45)
In by SUNDAY 30TH 7PM GMT
HARD deadline
Ideally well before that - any late processing delays the start of the parade.
Tip: more than a handful of unpicked HMs is a waste.
