    I’ll vote for the candidate who shoots down the most Flock devices (cameras, drones, executives et cetera).

      This is a terrible, myopic way to decide who becomes your representative, and I’m honestly sad Lemmy is even upvoting this.

      You need a points system, otherwise everyone’s going to min–max on the low-hanging fruit. “The most” is too basic a metric, but of course as always, Lemmy doesn’t understand the practical realities of politics.

        Don’t want people to completely ignore the easy ones though. Maybe eligibility for the high-value target bonus is unlocked by taking down a certain number of the common (low-hanging fruit) devices. Track everyone’s stats, work out the daily average, make that the cut-off so anyone below that number gets a reduced award instead of handing it to cherry-pickers. Some kind of MMORPG-inspired mechanic like that.

        Yeah, the ones on private property like mall parking lots are worth the most by far.

          The executives? I dunno, I feel like they’d be worth more if done on a public sidewalk. For tradition’s sake.
