I plan on reminding every family member, at every opportunity, when they complain about some benefit they've lost, "tough shit, you specifically voted for this"
Historically, it works.
If every country on earth had nukes and delivery methods on par with each other, we would never have to worry about nations being at war again.
Nothing would be left alive on the planet, but we would be at peace.
I always see people commenting on stories like this with things like "how does anyone actually believe that/think anyone will believe that?"
Well, that's exactly the point. It's not about the death being convincingly accidental. It's very much about sending a message to others.
You don't eliminate the competition and agitators with the exact same method of execution for 30+ years (with a few false-flag apartment bombings thrown in for good measure) and expect to keep things covert.

"You can cut that out, right?"
"We can.... But we won't."
I remember my first performance review.
Never once did I hear anything other than praise, all through the year.
Then I got "meets expectations" and when asked what I could have done to secure the required "exceeds" for a raise, I was told I did everything perfectly.
So I decided fuck it, if trying isn't even enough to get a cost of living raise, why bother putting in anything but the bare minimum.
In my experience, one millimeter (1mm) is enough to stop a full ton dead in it's tracks, while also

"while also completely being ignored by the pallet jack when it's not carrying something "
I've just been calling it twitter
I'll never deadname a person, but I'll deadname the shit out of a bigoted transphobic crybaby billionaire's shitty website.
