And that's, ... Begin with not buying their products but at the same 
time using them! Never buy them new, and never pay for them more than in 
pennies.

Do the same with cars :)

And computers, of course.

And food!

Oh, all sorts of Capones.

Even choose the gas station that does not sell gas belonging to Capones 
you dislike. There are gas stations whose owners are in Mexico. There 
are a few whose owners are Russians!

Starting November of 2023 I stopped buying products made in Israel. You 
can detect them by the special form their barcodes have to be.

Opportunities are almost endless to silently fuck the Capones. Be 
smarter, and it all ads up.

When Reagan called Iranians, "Barbarians", I convinced two bright 
Iranian physicists who had just graduated, to return to Iran instead of 
staying here serving this government. Almost all physics jobs are 
government jobs in this country.

They've both been fruitfully employed in Iran, one in the nuclear 
industry and one in education, and both recently retired.

That's how you deal with Capones.
