If only large numbers of workers could get together, maybe even unify, to set a price for their labor. Some kind of labor union type thing.

Nah, the only “labour union” that’s allowed to make demands of their employers are currently the ones responsible for beating the shit out of and arresting people in labour unions.
There’s a reason they militarized the police across America, and it wasn’t to stop petty crime.

I took a wrong turn today on my way to a job interview, and when I went to turn around I came across one of the spots where the local sheriff department hid one of their giant military vehicles because when they had them all in one place it was attracting a lot of negative attention and newspaper articles. They technically never said they got rid of them, but most people assumed they did
But I know where one is now and it doesn’t have any cameras pointing at it. It’d be a shame if someone cut their valve stems, wedged sharp pipe segments under the wheels, and started a fire underneath it.

Be careful around those tires, especially if it’s an MRAP. They’re high psi and under a ton of pressure. You usually have to use a remote inflater, just in case one of them blows when you’re filling them up.
A better route to disable any armoured vehicle would be to spray the window with acetone or a high strength ammonia. Ballistic glass has a polycarbonate layer that protects it from scratches and chips. The chemicals will make polycarb fog up really bad. The field of view in any armoured vehicle is already so bad they won’t be able to use it if it gets any worse. That’s unless they send the whole vehicle to one of the few private places that can delaminate it. It’s very expensive and time consuming.

100%, never stab a large vehicle tire. I was waiting in the ER once and some guy got pulled in by an ambulance and squad car, apparently when he tried slashing a semi tire, the thing blew out it sidewall and broke the guys arm, and he ended up with the shiv/screwdriver lodged in his leg.
