My hot take: yes it's perfectly acceptable.

You are only partly correct when you say "cruelty doesn't change minds". I'll up that and say that you cannot change the mind of a jackass who buys cyber trucks, no matter what you do.

What you do is show them that there are consequences to their choices, that they're not somehow immune like they think they are on Facebook or on their preferred social media echo chamber.

And if that doesn't change their minds or makes them consider their choices much more carefully, then they fucking deserve it.

EDIT: also, that's written in the dirt, isn't it? Is that what we call vandalism nowadays? What do you call it when the french burn a few cars down when protesting, a world war? Just go wash the shame off, you slob...

Here's a different take: measures that affect the population don't matter at all. He'll spin it one way or the other, blame somebody and the trollfarm-fed inbred dimwits won't know any better. It's useless, elections don't matter anymore.

Targeting the billionaires, especially in the services industry, will cause them to put the brakes on trump in a SECOND, and halt him in his tracks.

Uranium fever has done and got me down

Can one sue an insurance company over denied coverage/breach of contract and ask for like a millionaire compensation?

Seems like if that caught on, they'd be heavily disincentivized from denying coverage. A few high profile cases hitting them in the wallet would go a long way...

I looked up what dingus means, and got this:

nouninformal•North American used to refer to something one cannot or does not wish to name specifically.

So it's like Voldemort... takes notes

Of course not, how could you miss the oversized stuffed mascot sitting across from him??

That's phrased brilliantly, and capturey my own perception of Musk

And it's hard to overstate that the post WW2 golden age came as a result as the rest of the entire world being devastated by war, while the US industry was absolutely untouched and immediately ready to pivot from war time demand to supplying the world.

That ain't gonna happen again.

For some, the only way they'll ever learn is going nose first into a brick wall.

I only hope that trump crashes the US very quickly, but with the help of enough billionaires so that when the people rise up, they all get taken down and it becomes a better place.

There's no other way now that the institutions have fallen.

All lovely ideas, but if I own a small business, do I just close the doors when my source materials and energy start costing more than my finished product?

Obviously! He was hanging out with me we were exploring this spooky house.

"Cutting the US our of the global economy" reduces every nations ability to trade by 20% - 50%

Yes, while cutting US ability to trade by 100%. Who's the most impacted then?

You misundertand. Legal fees are not there as punishment, they are only there to prevent poor people for looking for justice.

The BCG vaccine is still part of many national vaccination plans in Europe to this day.

This is not the case in the US, at least I believe that since levels were lower they never started it.

Good thing then that both horse dewormer and Jesus have been proven to achieve the same efficiency as smoothing the chakras.when fighting TB!

It's fine, that's what pardons are for.

And is this one the exploding kind as well, or just a fake knock off? You wouldn't want to anger Trump by offering a broken, incomplete copy, right

We're not kink shaming nobody. If they want to elect AOC on the sole premise they want her to stomp on their balls, I'm donating to her work boots fund.

Alternative news source reporting the same, because FT is paywalled into oblivion.

Their CEO is basically president of the USA.

Short term fluctuations don't matter, they're betting that in the long run they'll be making massive profit on deregulation (lower labor costs, lower safety expenditure, fed gov "boost" programs, etc).
