There are very, very few companies on the planet that can reliably defend against a large quantity of coordinated cybercrime groups
Incentivizing them to focus their attacks on US businesses seems unwise

I think the issue is that he's fascist, but deeply incompetent. So you get confused people who are like "you're not shutting up and trying to evade the gaze of the government. Therefore it's not fascism."
and the reality is "They would absolutely lock people up if they had competent ppl to do it"

Call me crazy, but if someone actually were trying to run you over, shooting them to death doesn't actually remove the threat. It just means their now-dead leg weight is still on the accelerator but there's no control over the steering.
These shootings are plainly retaliatory, and always have been.

"Pritzker’s scathing attacks on Trump ... have attracted attention in the party — especially because he started them in the days after Trump's election, when other top Democrats, such as CA Gov. Gavin Newsom and MI Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, were still counseling caution"

Rich people are *easier* to bribe, because they are accustomed to avoiding consequences for their actions
Poor people are more difficult to bribe because they know if they're caught there will be zero mercy shown by the Government in its prosecution of them
