  • It's not even necessarily the ISPs that are doing it. In many cases they don't like this because their users start getting blocked on websites; it's bad actors piggy-packing on legitimate users connections without those users' knowledge.

  • There are residential IP providers that provide services to scrapers, etc. that involves them having thousands of IPs available from the same IP ranges as real users. They route traffic through these IPs via malware, hacked routers, "free" VPN clients, etc. If you block the IP range for one of these addresses you'll also block real users.

  • I'm not in Toronto, but in Vancouver I see enough fare evaders that if well-positioned I think they could pay for themselves. Especially because they're plain-clothes, so the fare evaders will go through and then have to pay the large fine as opposed to just pay for the one ticket because they saw an inspector.

  • Only works if your adversaries also cut military spending. Unfortunately countries like Russia have shown that they'll happily attack those unable to defend themselves. This also means that increased military spending can cause less war if it deters those who would otherwise attack.
