"Speech" - sometimes it's words; once thought to be powerful, they are surprisingly impotent because any rando can spout nonsense - sometimes it's not baking a cake because you don't like who might eat it - sometimes it's not paying for certain kinds of healthcare for your employees because you think your sky friend wouldn't like it - sometimes it's bribes; this is a very powerful form of speech in US politics. mostly used by the wealthy. - sometimes it's lead; even more powerful than money; the government thinks it should be the only one to use speech of such finality
