Accountability

I'm one of the few people going on record saying if corporations misbill you, you ought to take it out of their bottom line by similarly damaging their physical assets (in the field; not connected to your entity). If enough people did that, then these billing errors simply wouldn't happen.

It doesn't make sense to rely on a government that is too corrupt to protect us in these matters. When government stops using tactics to undermine upstanding citizens, and instead uses their power to only intercede where necessary to keep stability and fairness, then we can wait around for courts to fix these things again. Until that time has come again, it's much more efficient to just execute directly.

Thankfully you are one of the few people to insist upon such a stunningly stupid suggestion about destroying physical assets that don't belong to you.

Unless you're a hypocrite (and I know you are), that means if you are late on your car or house payment, the bank should have the right to destroy your assets - of course, I have no doubt you'll come up with excuse about how that's different from what you suggested.

You have a problem with Verizon or some other company, take it up with the local, state or Federal departments of consumer protection - yell on the phone if needed, but to suggest that destroying equipment is justifiable only serves to demonstrate just how stupid you really are.

One of the few or the only? What good is destroying their equipment going to do? Not only could you face additional fines and/or jail, its not going to fix your bill either.

Nice! That was exactly what I was thinking, only worded much better.

......wow.
So they bill you incorrectly and you propose going out and destroying their box/node/plant/rip up cable, whatever the company in question that wronged you may have, and knock about 100 other people offline, and you think it's the company that you'd be inconveniencing?
I mean presumably you'd do this anonymously it's not like they're going to piece together them screwing up your bill to the random destruction of their property. Unless you're dumb enough to take credit for it and be charged and fined, which based on your idea I actually don't doubt for a second you could be

Well ugh if you miss a Car Payment or Forbide a Mortgage payment, they do punish you by letting everyone in the world know you missed a payment and because of this it will drop your credit rating probably by up to 150 points. And these days thats worse than selling off your belongings.

Where do you work and what do you do?

Can we execute you directly when you damage physical assets and take your neighbors (perhaps someone with a medical emergency) out of service?

Perhaps you can execute yourself for having the worst idea ever. When you do so, please do not inconvenience anyone else.

Looks like we can add another name to the list of morons who agree with the OP; there's a difference between reporting/repo of assets and the willful destruction of assets - it involves a little concept called personal responsibility. You just missed the point because your pea-sized brain can't comprehend it.

Screw the people who's lives possibly depend on those assets working, eh?

Anarchy at it's best. Unfortunately, it'll be very hard to find stable net connection in your Mad Max world fantasy.
