“And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” I’d like to see them try. That is literally every tech company, ISP, and carrier to some extent. You want to see the industry cripple the govt. by suspending all services in protest? That would do it.

I'd rather they never get the chance. They may even know that's a last resort and start to hunt the low hanging fruit first and work their way up. Not a scenario I'd like to be a part of.
