We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

The specifics in the screenshot are a bit "legendy," but the concept is real. Sugar does impede the setting of concrete.

The last time this was posted, someone with more complex knowledge on the subject showed up with backing science that not only is this not true, but it until the mixture is around 10 percent sugar by weight, it has no noticable effect. So unless you're carrying 400 lbs of sugar with you, the only thing you'd do is risk arrest.

Please be sure enough is used. You don't want to end up with marginally compromised concrete that stands up to construction but fails in a couple years killing the inmates.

I heard this firsthand from a materials science professor focusing on concrete mineralogy.
FYI, Sugar cubes can be fired via slingshot.
