Supply Americans with the digital arms to resist these corporate raids, and they will stage a tax revolt (a thing that Americans are remarkably good at).

Escaping oligarchy, escaping the climate emergency, escaping economic desperation: these goals require *doing things* and *making things*. They require *real* products and services, they require *real* infrastructure and tools. By and large people would rather have real things than scams.
