mournfully flipping the counter back to "0" on the "it has been X days since a turbolib said something deeply homophobic" sign
"legal people" nobody is "illegal" friend, leave that kind of dehumanising inaccurate language to the far right
Sure, like any other wildly unethical job there's a spectrum of different people's privilege and ability to easily cut out to a less cartoonishly evil job – I would hold Person A with a background in cybersecurity and no dependants a lot more responsible for every day they remain a cop than Person B who joined police academy straight out of high school and is supporting 5 children etc.
But saying that Person B should be excluded from "fuck cops" – that is, that there should be an exception to the general cultural work of making it socially unacceptable to be part of a murderous, racist, unjust, reactionary paid army – is supporting the institution that you're claiming to be against. Waiting until a complete societal transformation before campaigning for people to not take blood money (your euphemistic "consciousness price") is valuing Person B's economic solvency over the lives of the people they (or, being generous, just their colleagues) will harass, target, frame, and even kill.
prohibiting substances does not have a great track record in terms of either effectiveness or collateral damage

you're right to be sarcastic, better sit back and shut up and wait for the free market to fix it /s
if the landlords care that much about cooking smells, they could use some of their ill-gotten wealth to install decent ventilation in kitchens..
making consumables more expensive just makes them cheaper for the rich. poor people in areas with inadequate public transit will largely just keep driving and become poorer (maybe some of them will switch to the inadequate public transit, then they'll be even poorer, and it likely won't improve the transit systems either).
tax the rich in proportion to their wealth., spend it on better public interest transport infrastructure
