FPTP-voting was created by wealthy romans to benefit wealthy romans, that anyone uses this system today is just bonkers to me and probably why this comparison of yours is not so far removed at all.

Couch co-op gta san andreas was the best, so sad it’s not more common in present games.

They do exist they just prefer to be anonymous in their altruism so nobody hears about them.

Don’t need to take things further than market socialism to fix the problems with capitalism.

What you describe is just another example of poor urban planning + untapped market of public transport.

While you have a point you might consider what little free time young people have is largely spent on social media full of dark patterns and negative feedback loops and/or gaming stuffed with gambling.

Just let agelimits apply to judges as well and make judges appoint judges while you’re at it to minimize the politicizing of the bench.

Would you rather be dependent on foreign supply while waiting for renewable energy to be built? A lot of america still runs on oil and it’s gonna take a long time for that change even with the green transition finally happening.

Atleast with Biden there’s a good chance Harris will have to step up and become first female president

skeleton incumbents

You’re not wrong but them being the executive class beholden to the investor class is a pretty big distinction from the rest of the working class that they oversee as a part of their work.

The rest of the investor class consider Musk a joke to actually run the companies he owns himself.
