fuckin love this idea, I'll nut for the fallen if this gains some traction 🤌
- It's going to take increasing the size of the Supreme Court so that the judges who are bought off don't have the power to block it
  
  Ah, fuck yeah reality lol 😄

Do Nestle and water profits next!

Good make it national precedent!

Heh. Now I don't think you're going to make a whole lot of friends seizing company assets, but this IS kinda funny.
- Oil and gas companies have already made themselves enemies of the planet and everyone on it so honestly they can fuck right off.
- Who's trying to make friends? Burn them at the fucking stake, I say!
  
  And contribute further to the climate crisis? No, break out the guillotines.
- What company assets are you even referring to? This is about seizing profits, you know like fines and taxes already do. I think you'd make a lot of friends seizing profits from these already subsidized companies that are doing great harm to the biosphere, but you do you.
