Likely some form of secure/encrypted phone. There are special versions of phones made, not available to the general public.

Yes, but even if you don't have one, everyone will have several dozen things which can turn a flathead screw/bolt with a bit of willpower.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. Frank Wilhoit

Well, the top 25 wealth hoarding dragons paid 13.6 billion in federal income taxes in a span of 5 years. https://www.propublica.org/article/the-secret-irs-files-trove-of-never-before-seen-records-reveal-how-the-wealthiest-avoid-income-tax
So you were likely only very mildly exaggerating that claim.
And before some ~~class traitor~~boot-licker squeaks up about * the article looks at wealth which isn't taxed, only income is taxed.* 1 that wasn't the point & 2 you don't need income when you have that kind of assets.

That would make a lot of sense ...until we're reminded that USA is a kleptocracy, masquerading under a thick coating of we the people, freedom!™, liberty and justice for ~~all~~a select group of people. Then it becomes clear the obvious and only solution, is for the government to pump a couple billions into Boeing.

That being said, congressmen & president are somewhat democratically elected - and voting is thrice as influential if you're in a low population state!.
So you can influence if big money A's laws get passed, or big money C's (big money B gets their way regardless).
