I think you're suppose to start a revolution after missing three meals. I think the people on wallstreet forgot that.

Since that flag tried storming the capital building. I actually like the original meaning of the flag, but it got cooped by meat heads. I do like the pride and women's rights versions of the gadsen flag.

We need a way to differentiate between communists and the tankie subset.

My wife gets mad at me for hinting squirrels.

Where does this shit even come from? I've never had a popup on my screen like this.

That all predates an algorithm that wants to make you angry. The internet was better before people got good at squeezing every cent out of it.

There is, but they get labeled as terrorists while far right gets called tourists when they storm the capital building.

I mean, when the maga types burn books, I roll my eyes and chuckle that they still paid the author for a copy. I remember video one maga book burning where a gay(?) man throw a bible in and drove off when the chuds realized what had happened.

Let them burn books. You can't destroy ideas that way in the 21st century.

We kinda need lobbying and it would be very hard to effectively criminalize it. It would just move father into the back rooms. When I say we need it, groups like the EFF, NAACP, FFRF and ACLU all have lobbying arms.

A different idea proposed by Lawrence Lessig would be to remove elected officials from the legislative branch and replace it it something like the Jury Duty system from the court systems. While not perfect, it would be much harder to bribe a constantly rotating group of civilians and most people will vote in their interest even when it's against their party alignment on a case by case bases.

Lobbyists would become like courtroom lawyers either pushing for or against certain laws in a public settings.

Agreed, but getting an increase in minimum wage would get the ball rolling on other worker right reforms.

Combine that with the fact that this town looks like it has a very slow life style, it wouldn't be weird to have to wait a month or so for an order. Everyone probably knows each other and if there was an emergency, there would be someone nearby to help patch a roof, even if it was just throwing a tarp over it.
