Something to think about regarding the Epstein files:
CRIMINAL LIABILITY: 18 U.S.C. § 1591(a)(2) — "Benefiting from a Venture"
The federal sex trafficking statute doesn't only criminalize the people who directly recruit, transport, or exploit victims. It specifically criminalizes anyone who benefited financially or by receiving anything of value from participation in a venture that recruited, enticed, harbored, transported, provided, obtained, advertised, maintained, patronized, or solicited a person to engage in a commercial sex act.

Another thing to think about in connection with the Epstein files - CIVIL LIABILITY: 18 U.S.C. § 1595
An individual who is a victim of a violation of this chapter may bring a civil action against the perpetrator or whoever knowingly benefits, or attempts or conspires to benefit, financially or by receiving anything of value from participation in a venture which that person knew or should have known has engaged in an act in violation of this chapter.

The System Is Built to Make It Hard to Pass Good Legislation—so We Have to Get Creative
"Local Pushback against Privatization of Public Infrastructure: One Person Can Make a Difference with Terri Hall"
By Elze van Hamelen
The story of Terri Hall is a remarkable tale illustrating how—with perseverance, faith, and a refusal to give up—one person can have a major impact. In this interview, Hall describes how a call to action on local radio and a small meeting in a school library turned into successful, statewide grassroots pushback.
In 2005, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) had plans to convert an existing, taxpayer financed freeway into a toll road and to transfer ownership to two foreign corporations in a 50-year deal. The contracts would have allowed no competing projects in the nearby area, hindering any future public development. The plans also called for expansion onto private land to be seized through eminent domain and transferred to the foreign companies—a clear infringement of property rights and an abuse of eminent domain (which is only supposed to be applied for urgent public purposes). For the private companies, there would be no limits to the toll fees that they could collect, and if the project failed to become profitable, citizens would be taxed to cover the investment gap.
Toll road projects of this type hit low- and middle income citizens the hardest, forcing them to pay exorbitant toll fees just to get to work. Recognizing the “kitchen-table issues” in play, homeschooling mom Terri Hall was, therefore, shocked when she heard about the TxDOT’s plans. In response, she organized a highly successful grassroots initiative that led, in 2007, to a moratorium on privatized toll roads, and, in 2012, to the removal of a full chapter from the state’s transportation code. She explains,
“[As] anyone [knows] who has ever done legislative work, it’s hard to get a single line out of code. Sometimes it can take you years just to get a single initiative out of code. We managed to get an entire chapter of the transportation code completely erased.”
The toll road was intended to be part of a national NAFTA superhighway, with Texas selected as the starting point due to its gateway relationship to Mexico. Halting the “Trans Texas Project” stopped the superhighway network from spreading across the U.S.
Through her two non-profits, Texans Uniting for Reform & Freedom (TURF – “Defending Freedom to Travel & Property Rights”) and Texans for Toll-free Highways, Hall continues to push back against privatized toll roads and other threats on the horizon. Describing the ongoing efforts to privatize public infrastructure, attack property rights, and restrict citizens’ freedom of movement—for example, through the federally mandated kill switch in all new cars, driverless cars, surveillance, and non-competitive contracting—Hall observes, “The other side will never stop because they’re working 24/7, sometimes with our money, lobbying against us. So we have to be just as vigilant as they are.”
Hall also describes the importance of “training up younger blood” and growing the ranks of citizens lobbying for freedom. The practical information she shares is sure to inspire some to join the pushback.
