The country needs to find a “compromise” between privacy and safety, according to Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley.

“When people talk about just one of these, privacy or safety, they’re prioritizing the wrong thing, and what we have to prioritize as a country is compromise,” Langley said during a recent interview with Fox News. “How do we have our safety, and how do we balance privacy?”

Tar and feathers are not expensive, and it's a hilarious thing to do to someone

and it's a hilarious thing to do to someone

To someone who deserves it. Thankfully/unfortunately, there's plenty of deserving tech CEOs for our amusement, including this asshat

I'm on board as long as we boil the tar.

isn't that pitch then?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

I have no idea! I'm (not actually) ashamed to admit I know nothing of tar and similar roofing/lynching substances.

Iirc tar is a solid at room temp, so we have to heat it

Feathers?!?! This situation demands Wool.

Sincerely, We aren’t flocking livestock

Tar is so hot, we don’t want the guy to die. No we can’t call for that online, hilarity be damned.

Let’s do honey and wool.

Give the people a chance to spit on him.
