I'm not saying I won't be buying real estate in San Francisco, Magic The Gathering cards, and shares in big tech, but a solid backbone of 1000x value bitcoin is hard to beat on multiples.

Actually bitcoin on a physical harddrive purchased at $50 or below stored in a safety deposit box is pretty ironclad.

Red pill all the way. Personal experience gains to be had. Also of course there is the prospect of crypto billionairedom.

Bring in the military to feed my kids some vegetables.

That is the definition of an authoritarian position.

Maybe Atlantis? Also maybe the fremen parts of Dune, though that again is more primitivist in some respects.

I'd say overall Solarpunk still lacks its cornerstone film.

Nausicaa is more solar/windpunk than Princess Mononoke, which is more primitivist.

Reagan cut taxes while increasing spending, despite talking like his goal was to reduce government excess. As a result, the national debt increase for the first time since WWII and has not stopped in that trend since then.

In some sense Waterworld qualifies.

Also Cloud Atlas in some of the settings, though a bit more primitivist

You don't need a cooler, just a vial of liquid nitrogen or dry ice. If the gun was air powered rather than fired with gunpowder the heat issue would be substantially reduced. Also the dirt didn't need to be fully solid at time of impact to effectively poison the target, as all that was needed was liquid contact with the skin.

Also everyone here seems to be pretending that flachette rounds aren't a thing and weren't proposed to replace bullets as the primary rounds for the standard issue rifle for the us military as recently as the Advanced Combat Rifle program to replace the M16. AAI's flachette rifle went all the way to final testing and consideration, and was easily accurate at 100m and beyond. This weapon shot single darts aka flachettes and would have no problem with achieving accuracy at 30m with a shorter barrel.

Nows your chance to upgrade to a hardwood board with no maintenance requirements. Eliminate strife on both ends.

The answer would be to Crack down on distributors doing the last leg to retail, hitting them with major fines. Enforcement at customs is always going to be a losing battle, the only way to win is to dry up demand at the commercial level.
