skip filing taxes this year "if you owe", if you are getting a refund why the fuck are you loaning the government your money all year?! change your withholding now!!
The penalty for not doing quarterly payments only applies after the first year (for contractors). That penalty is literally a pittance. I think I paid 140 dollars penalty on over 100k of income (but given the cost of living in Silicon Valley and the rollercoaster feast-or-famine nature of my work, there was no way to make a projection let alone a quarterly tax payment based on it).
Drop your quarterly payments to zero and you have until next year to deal with it - meanwhile the GAO has a disaster on it's hands (if enough do it).
Now if you want to really get creative - take a sabbatical. I've dumped my clients for the year so I now have no income. No income - no income taxes.
Will it take a year? Probably not - the entire system going dark in massive chunks would probably cause a cascade of panic. I estimate it could be resolved in 60-90 days. If they have any sense. 180 on the outside.
What can be done in state legislatures? States can certainly add restrictions to businesses who transact in their jurisdiction - and can shut Twitter and Facebook down for their monopolies on speech and unfair censorship. It may be a loophole federally, but maybe if just a FEW states enact a bill to punish big tech censorship, it would make it impossible for them to do business at all because of the nature of the internet.
Section 230 makes this moot. That's why it may be risky for smaller companies to have it struck - newsflash - real businesses have liabilities. An act from the 90s doesn't get to run riot on our constitutional guarantees. (now, how the hell this will happen with these idiots = not likely)
It's all a ruse anyway because it was authored to protect ISPs - not sites specifically. It became that, but it wasn't the intent when drafted.
But if 230 does get nuked, to the detractors I say, put your big boy pants on and learn how to do business legally.
It needs to be different. There can't be a 'leader'. They'd try to negotiate their way out of it. There can be none (they had their chance).
That means no communication with your boss or with anyone at your business, office, farm or factory deals with (suppliers, HR, CO-OPs the whole smash). No communication inspires fear. You want that fear and confusion. (plus there's possible upsides. I had a company that I quit from - without formerly quitting which continued to pay me for nearly a month. When they finally had the luck to reach me I told them I was recording them for my lawyers. They fucked off very fast.)
Confusion is a very potent weapon.
Go dark. Stay home. Stop producing. Stop buying. Stop banking (as much as possible, even remove money from accounts). Stop market trades. Stop farming.
Stop everything
We no longer have significant stores of anything to maintain supply for 300 million plus Americans. The toilet paper shortage showed this. Plus it's irrelevant if no one is driving the trucks anymore.
The easiest and most devastating action you can do is literally not doing anything.
Alot of people's jobs already got 1 foot out the door heading over seas

Yup.
