They need more power, for their own benefit only, solution is simple: they pay for the construction and operation.

Companies won't lower prices. They'll keep the elevated prices and blame the remaining tariffs and "supply chain disruptions" to pocket any easing in tariffs.
Caveat: some may lower prices a TINY bit to try to draw customers that are gun-shy on purchases.

Every piece of information you give a company is sold and traded more times than you can imagine. And it takes much less data than you think to put together a very detailed picture of who you are, where you've been, and what you think.

When I was teaching the ultimate power move was to say you were going to contact their GRANDPARENTS. They took that super seriously.

As a dude, I find it disturbing how few guys understand this. Not surprising, just sad and disturbing.
I'm sure it's completely unrelated that most guys have thought of me as "weird" my entire life.

Strong start, appropriate expletives, but a weak finish with "nincompoop". Might I recommend:
* soulless flap-mouthed varlet
* stinky codswallop
* witless wart
* canker blossom
More seriously, why don't we hear more about WHY due-process matters?

/5 Chrome spots the honeypot field and autofills it, leaving the real one alone.
Google, why am I having to resort to such shenanigans for this?

/4 The textarea was clunkier than I wanted to maintain. Where I finally fell was adding an additional text input between the label and the input I cared about:
<input type="text" style="width:0;height:0;padding:0;border:none" name="DummyUserName" />
<input type="text" style="width:0;height:0;padding:0;border:none" name="DummyUserName" />

/3 I had removed the "for" attribute on the label also, but no joy.
There was a pretty clever example of using a textarea, which doesn't get the autofill treatment, and using CSS to make it look the same and some JS to make it act more like a normal text input.

/2 The commonly listed advice of renaming the field to something other than "UserName" also did not work. After some experimentation it became clear that the associated label ("ID") was being spotted by Chrome's autofill service to populate the now renamed text field.
