And what about your red lines?

Why is it all up to a handful of people in a bipartisan, csptured engagement? This was specifically feared and called out by the founding fathers, was it not?

What if instead we went straight to the pockets - straight to their power, and set our red lines?

What if sometihign like this existed, tracke dthe cancellations, made the bottom lines public to their commercialinvestor competitors?

"Subscription cancellations scare Wall Street more than protests" — what if boards (and the pension managers) could see exactly how many people were committed before they made the decision?

Should something like this exist?

One cycle win is great, but we need LAW, from the people. Whatever form.

Sure, Disney reveresed their decisions from 7M peopel doing the same.

But this could be a waste, or worse, conditioning if we cannot do it more effectively, less eneryg, at scale.

That is what a group of us are exploring anyway.

What if "cancel a subscription" wasn't a one-time gesture but a permanent commitment — set your values once, and when a company crosses the line, it happens automatically?

Should something like this exist?

A group of us have already started, but we need real discussion on what WILL be used.

"The EXACT SAME THING happened to me" — what if that sentence & photo triggered an automatic pattern match? Entry to class action? 4,721 others documented it. Legal firm notified. Class action threshold at 94%. - for any of the bs the large guys pull.

Should something like this exist?

"Local" TV news:

70 ABC affiliates are owned by 2 companies.

When they made one decision, 23% of American households couldn't watch Kimmel—even after Disney brought it back.

Local isn't as local as it sounds.

8 times in 50 years.

That's how often the FCC has enforced "news distortion."

A policy used that sparingly should be invoked with caution—not as a threat.

7.1 million cancellations.
At $14/month average.

That's $99 million per month.
$1.2 billion per year.

Investors responded: $6.4 billion wiped in 5 days.

That's what it cost to cross the line.

$6.4 billion lost in 5 days.

That's $53 million per hour.

Every hour Disney waited, $53 million gone.

They stopped waiting on day 5.

7.1 million people canceled in the same week.

Nobody organized them.
There was no petition.
There was no movement.

They just did it.

What if that could happen on purpose?

Laws protecting monopolies instead of people. Billions taken through systems nobody agreed to. Courts that lock you up for being poor.

Someone should do something.

10 Red Balloons is where that happens. One problem at a time.

You in?
