  Okay, here‘s a compromise for him: he shuts down his company and refunds everything that was paid with tax money (with interest) and he can keep his head.

    Hmm, that seems like he still wins though… I think that would be letting him off easy!

      I said he can keep it. No promises about it staying attached.

  No one should compromise with people who have hundreds of millions of dollars.

  the compromise is paying me a cut of your profits every time I show up in your footage. You want to monetize my body, my car, and my behaviors? I want fair compensation. Or, you know, you could keep having your cameras cut down and vandalized

  “I’ll maybe hurt you a little less, and I’ll keep doing the bad thing” isn’t a compromise; a compromise has to benefit both sides, and not being harmed is just the default expectation, not a benefit.

  Sorry there bud, but in the simplest terms I can muster: You reap what you sow.

  Compromise will happen when the last flock camera is finally removed.

  A pair of Flocks became cut down in my neighborhood and the local news aired the sticker left on one that said ‘Get wrecked ya surveilling fucks’ uncensored. I want more of this energy.
