    Mostly that subsidies are, despite the mainstream impression given by a very small number of sectors, quite heavily regulated. And that nobody is really buying the meat replacements - in my area, they’re 30%-50% more expensive than the actual meat products they imitate. The reality of humanity is that until we can make the ethical choice at least as easy as the unethical choice, there will be no widespread adoption of the ethical choice. Subsidizing the immitation-meat industry with even a fraction of what the real-meat industry receives would be a great way to start reaching that social tipping point.

    Pointing laser pointers at planes is a federal crime because air traffic is federally regulated. Reckless discharge (steady lads) in a high traffic area, which is where flock cameras are located, falls under state jurisdiction because those laws are state regulated.

    The jurisdiction in which a crime is committed does not dictate the severity of the punishment - while lasering a plane generally carries a severe punishment, it’s unlikely it would even be noticed by the crew unless you’re specifically targeting that plane. It’s certainly going to carry a lower sentence than reckless discharge (steady) in a populated area during the commission of a crime.

    Generally they’re mounted high enough you can’t hit them with a stick (totally sincere here: I am so curious where the idea that every american has a baseball bat came from. We don’t, that’s like assuming every canadian has a hockey stick). The best method of physically damaging them is just to loop a chain around them and pull them down then hit them with your standard-issue Size 2 Louisville Slugger. But that takes time and several people, so for a quick & clean takedown laser pointers are fairly effective.

    This seems almost dishonest real unfamiliar with the subject in how it’s presented. The immediacy of the attention you get is really important: A gunshot can be heard for over a kilometer in any direction, even through walls. A laser pointer is both much less noticible and much less dangerous to bystanders.

    edit: wow, I phrased that like an asshole, sorry.

    Because not only are guns expensive and quite difficult to learn to shoot accurately, shooting at things in crowded areas is likely going to kill someone? And is much more illegal than using a laser pointer for vandalism, even if you don’t hit someone?

    Also make sure your friends have laser goggles, and that nobody is anywhere downrange if you’re trying this. It takes way longer to blind a camera with these than it does to blind a human/animal, and it will turn minor vandalism charges into felonious assault.

    Yall make sure you’re not visible on another camera when you try this - it’s not like they won’t be able to figure out when and where you were when you did it. FLOCKs are usually in high camera-density areas like parking lots and strip malls and such, and there’s a lot of pressure to address vandalism against the surveillance apparatus.
