I think it probably is important to know that this was many outnumbered 9:1 being beaten on the ground before he was shot. Not in a car. Not running. ICE will likely come up with some reason why they were afraid for their lives. But you don't need to watch.

Yes, but you are a brilliant billionaire author and about two months away from launching your first Mars mission powered by cold fusion.

What are the rest of us supposed to do?

Stick it back on with super glue and swap it out with another one at the store. I have my fingers crossed you don't get caught.

Companies will just appoint another strawman. The only way to make companies do what you want is fines at the global turnover level.

It is working so well in tech that the billionaires are using all their resources to have individuals in other governments prosecuted.

Oh and the writer is not a bigot because the hero has a black friend he helped learn to read (who dies on page 5).

I've read it already; Against the odds, convention, and the expectation of his parents, our 'hero' destroys the evil queen who had brainwashed all women to reject the natural rule of man and thereby our hero restores order to the universe and receives the recognition of his peers (men).
