30k signatures in a week isn't going to cut it

I do think everyone should be signing both for good measure, but the new petition is the one that matters, and I'm pretty disappointed it's only garnered 30k signatures in a week. That isn't insignificant and it's still gaining, but at this rate it isn't going to be enough to get Amazon Studios' attention. There are almost 200k members just in this sub alone. Big enough public outcry has changed the fate of canceled shows before, but we HAVE to do better and be louder if we want any chance in hell of getting them to reconsider. Please sign and share if you haven't already, and ask your friends to.

Edit re: "it won't help" comments. Probably not, but this was our last hope of getting a new SG series that respected established canon, you'd rather we not even try?

This nearly antique compressor has served me well for years, but I wish it had just a little more nuts. I've done what I can to make it run as well as possible- synthetic oil, lubed the motor bearings, changed the drive pulley from 3" to 4" and I have the cut in/out switch set at 95-125 psi, which could be a bit higher as the tank is rated for 150 but being so old I don't think pushing its pressure limit would be wise.

Despite my efforts to "tune it up" so to speak, it still runs out of breath faster than it recharges when I'm using air tools for any extended time. The motor on it is old but I assume it's not original, and small at only 1/2 hp which I know is the main reason it doesn't charge faster. But I'm wondering if there's anything else I can do to make it work better besides sooner or later upgrading to a bigger motor?
