Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

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.
I wonder how hard it would be to fill paintballs with acetone and other solvents...
Guessing the solvent would probably melt the casing of the paint ball. Acetone is a polar aprotic solvent, so it can bond with water and dissolve fats. I'm guessing the shells of a paint ball would probably be made out of a glycol or gelatin substance.
You'd prob be better off filling and throwing/slingshots a lightbulb or some other thin glass container.
Freeze the paintballs and inject the solution in the center? Then allow to thaw just as you get in firing range?
I hope you have access to a supply of liquid nitrogen...
