I’m sure other people have brought up rich people taking a huge share of it already, but there’s also the sheer number of people determined to work in the arts. If there’s, say, ten billion dollars to go around, it sounds like a lot, but if it’s split between a couple of million artists it doesn’t go very far.

Total coincidence they picked someone Jewish for their conspiracies about bankers secretly controlling the world.

As well as spreading and planting seeds, clearing competing plants, and providing water and nutrients.

Chickens are the most numerous bird on the planet, wheat covers more land area than any other plant.

I evolutionary terms being edible to humans is quite useful.

The electoral college exists to give slave states more votes.

People talk a lot about the genericisation of brand names, but the branding of generic terms like this really annoys me.

I’ll use the example I first noticed. A few years ago, the Conservative government was under criticism for the minimum wage being well under a living wage. In response, they brought in the National Living Wage, which was an increase to the minimum wage, but still under the actual living wage. However, because of the branding, it makes criticising it for not meeting the actual living wage more difficult, as you have to explain the difference between the two, and as the saying goes, “if you’re explaining, you’re losing”.

R loves to make voting harder under the auspices of “fraud prevention”.

They say, while their supporters are the ones committing all of the fraud.

For anyone thinking of refusing to vote for Harris over Gaza: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_peace_plan

“Trump, I think that dictator is an imperialist! His Siberia is colonised, his Chechnya is colonised, and I’m pretty sure that Belarus is colonised!”

“A dictator who has lots of colonies is less likely to invade countries than a dictator whose colony supplies are low”

States are fairly arbitrary divisions of land and I don’t think they need representation separate from the representation their people have.

They’re both problems.

Ranked choice for presidency, proportional for congress (and the senate if that’s worth having exist at all).

How do you stop a majority of the electoral college from completely trouncing the concerns of the other states?

They give scraps and empty promises until you’re no longer useful to them.

The left: We don’t stand a chance with all our petty infighting

The right:

The only one of these that is remotely acceptable, to me, is Tilda Swindon, because they explicitly detached themselves from the character to avoid getting shat on by the CCP for casting a Tibetan and from Americans for casting a Chinese person.

That makes it worse tbh

The problem Trump has with the two party system is he wants it to be a one party system.

Fission is based on the fusion that took place in ancient supernovae.

Trump isn’t even better for Israel, just for Netanyahu.
