my own thinking is a GS will have to take a longer view. A one time thing would be a shot across the bow and possibly, possibly be enough. However something like a once a month strike would be more effective. Must hit em where they live, the outcome should be felt by us all. To be successful we would need to get by with less over time. Practical and Punitive.

IMO
