Unless the US adopts some kind of proportional representation system (or even at the least discards FPTP), doing that would only ensure that no progressive voices are heard in the government.
The better and more practical option is to take over the democratic party. That is unless you want to have no control over the government.
Goes to North Pole.
Tries to go more North.

The goal for them isn’t to have the most money relative to you, it is to make you have no money and be in utter desperation. Then any kind of work that feeds you and your family will be acceptable. Any orders from a billionaire will be followed out of sheer terror of starvation or torture or whatever else the billionaires intend to use as coercion.
Yes they are winning because they already fucking won by having billions of dollars. Their goal is to widen the wealth gap as much as possible. Then us poors are unable to fight back when they unleash mercenaries on us

Lmao I’m in the middle of showing my teenager how to pirate and why it is morally justifiable to not pay for Marvel movies.
I was under the impression that inverter generators already did this. Because it uncouples the engine speed from the generated electrical frequency, it the engine can run at much lower speed when not under load. They’re expensive though. I bought one for camping and it’s only 2000W and cost $600.
If you’re talking about a stationary application, you should seriously consider solar.
It’s not easy but we could build a water softener that replaces flouride in the water with lead. I bet they’d fucking love that. Slap a trump hat on it and charge $2k per install. MADE IN AMERICA, BABY!
Coal is so massively expensive to build, maintain and operate that it is being phased out by literally every single power generating utility company. There is no possibility that these regulatory changes that have yet to go into effect will change that.

Free speech is incredibly important but it has fundamental issues that should not be undermined for the sake of protecting the core concepts of free speech.
For instance, lying is protected speech. You can lie all day long. That’s your choice and it is up to those who listen to decide for themselves whether they believe you or not.
You could choose to lie about something someone else said. That is also protected speech. Again, it is up to the listener to choose their own beliefs.
But is it free speech to create a near perfect facsimile of someone saying or doing something that they never said or did? Perhaps if it is just for parody purposes. But if it is meant to amplify a political message built upon a lie, then no, no it is not. Why? Because it skips an important epistemological step whereby the recipient of the message knows it came from a third party and their belief of the message is predicated on their knowledge it came from someone else who may or may not be believable.
So if it is a deepfake the message can appear, credulously, to come directly from a political opponent. If it is just a slanderous lie about that political opponent, it must come from from a third party of which belief is a necessary component in communication.
Trump has been a money launderer for Putin for the past 3 decades. Trump’s entire reason to own international resorts is to use them for laundering money. It’s easy. Build a huge resort, say it’s full even when it is not, and it just so happens to be that half the guests paid in cash. Well, the cash guest, Putin and his oligarchy bros, said “Keep this up or we will ruin you”. So the choice is to make money or lose it all/get killed. Pretty easy choice right?
Whether or not he’s a pedo who did illegal shit on camera is another story
Fast forward to today.
Marshall laid out his arguments for judicial review in Marbury v Madison. At the time it was supported by Hamilton and others too. But it’s not explicitly stated in the constitution. Jurisprudence is entirely an unconstitutional (though consistent with other sections of the constitution) power that the courts granted themselves. It’s been a long time since my last us history class though.
The Supreme court manifested the entire concept of jurisprudence. I think they could do the same for a system of officers of the court.
Supreme court could just manifest the ability to fund a system of officers of the court from thin fucking air if they wanted to.
Yeah I’m starting to think that a triumvirate is the way to go for the office of the president. Let’s have a head of state, a head of government, and a head of _____ idk. But the job is too intense for one individual and we need an escape hatch while also having stability. So we could impeach the head of state but keep the head of government so shit still gets done during that transition.
No, from the brownshirts who have been systematically threatening and murdering the judges and their families who oppose fascism.
“well the military was ultimately responsible for holding those contractors accountable,”
This is arguably one of the worst aspects of contracting any kind of service. The contractors act like they don’t have a duty to listen nor are they willing to be held accountable. Once the contractor and the signor shake hands then the contractors just go and do the worst fucking job possible with no one to steer the ship. The money has been spent, and accountability is nowhere to be found.
The audience viewing Greta’s ship getting bombed will be a subset of people who care about Palestine. Israel wouldn’t give half a shit.
The only way for her to do this safely is if she became an official diplomat of Sweden.
