climate crisis doesn’t cost anything from an energy perspective. Just freedom of competition. renewable energy can outcompete incumbent energy, and a carbon tax and dividend scheme (0 cost) ensures the full (future) cost of dirty energy is considered.
With MechaHitler controlled robots, you will compete with all of the other sharecroppers to pay your robot rental fess with your mechahitler minion’s work’s revenue. If you get rich from this scheme, Musk will increase supply of robots so that more competition to your income stops you from being rich.
First, we need high tax rates, and freedom dividends. This allows entire society to benefit from productivity increases.
Work being more entrepreneurial and sales/financing focused, lets people (who are supported by UBI/freedom dividends) invest their time in designing products and services that can rent robots/computers/AI to deliver profitable value to consumers, who because of UBI/freedom dividends can afford said value.
You can sell your vote, but change it back after paid. You can cause revote from outrage that something passed with consequences that were unknown to most. There can/should be constitutional protections against certain laws.
Liquid democracy is implemented through blockchains, 1 vote per account, and means to ensure 1 account per real citizen. If a corrupt policy steals $150m from society, then $1 to 150m voters may get it to pass the first time. Bribed make a net 50c. Corrupt gains 0. A trace of those payments, may be cause for a/many revotes, where the corrupt must keep the bribery program. Representatives who take the corrupts bribe will lose delegates, and have other delegates demand their share of the bribe.
These are better checks on corruption than any existing rulership system.
Just worse than direct/liquid democracy.
People would just vote on race, gender, and apparent ethnicity of last name? Even with random people put in charge, say with university degrees and low debt to asset ratios, I think they’d get surrounded by people with Epstein-sized expense accounts inviting them to entertainment-themed seminars.
While both are subject to propaganda/fraud, Sortition is more subject to bribery after being in office.
There definitely needs to be limits on speech to protect against fanatical religious supremacism (Zionism) hate speech, and economic fraud supporting oligarchist/corporatist supremacy. In other countries, blantant CIA/Atlanticist propaganda fraud needs to be exterminated. Disposession of media violating treasonous/fraudulent speech is necessary for democracy to work.
At same time, with direct democracy it is easier to counteract propaganda and demonize those who use their delegate power for evil. Sortition would be subject to more closed information/perspectives capture. Well funded lobbyists will continue to sell lies, and seeking out the truth takes effort.
None of these should be goals.
Direct/liquid democracy where you have the individual right to vote on everything, and so be your own representative, in addition to the right to transfer your vote to a representative, and transfer it back to yourself or someone else at any time, is the only democracy.
Instead of a cabinet, direct recallable functional administrators are elected until they piss off the people. Liquid/direct democracy can create subdivisions of functional silos with administrator in charge of single task/project, so you don’t have to think of a single cabinet official of a full department, even if there is some coordination/offices in same building.
UBI is far more pluralist than democracy, because democracy is corrupt promises with Zionist/CIA and other power supremacist agendas that only has money for those goals. UBI is the freedom to do anything, including cooperating with others on group enterprises where payoff is future success based.
Where government’s role is an administrator taking care of pluralist prosperity/needs of its people, instead of a king/power hierarchy that steals prosperity for its “in group”, only UBI can provide the function because people can afford to take care of themselves, and prosperity programs fund more UBI. Every single program/war proposal must be compared to an increased cash dividend to people.
Only pure evil that needs hierarchical slavery for their political power, including the left, opposes UBI, and so UBI cannot come from existing political systems, because they are all pure evil power maximizing.
In waterworld, there was an old man in a row boat floating inside an oil tanker. Us is he.
so much lottery tickets!!!
13 months of 28 days each. New Years is its own day outside of a month. Monday is first of each month. New Year’s is not a day of the week. Leap year feb 29th is moved to May to be a nice weather day for most of the world. It too is a holiday, and not a day of the week.
Name this holiday, and bonus, the 13 months.
Needs a blanket fort from head to screen.
The economics for new energy as a slow transition were already there at $50/barrel. Geopolitical extortion means that fuel dependence means energy insecurity from enemies foreign and domestic (the monopolists and oil companies that corrupt our government). At one point this week, Trump said America (just its oil companies) will make a lot of money from destruction of all Gulf contries.
The geopolitical extortion case for having secure/fuelless energy existed yesterday, and will exist as long as US can be bribed to make oil more expensive. It should not be “oh wow, who could of thought some oil facilities could have ever gotten blown up, I better look at EV websites today”
On an individual basis, your demand for the best affordable EVs and energy indepdendent of the nationality of the company/workers who might provide it for you, should be not on comparing cost vs $2/gasoline a month ago, but on the fear of $4 or $6 gasoline, your government will enable, and on the fear of a $3/gallon carbon tax (paid as dividend to citizens/residents) as the only solution to global warming and energy transition.
It’s that $300/ton carbon tax that will speed transition. Overall, people are too dumb to realize their extortion and oppression is forever, and rooting for oil facilities destruction, as part of any solution, doesn’t change that it was going to happen anyway. When facility is rebuilt it is emissions, and lost oil obtained elsewhere to fill the gas tank it was already going to be used in, is more emissions.
No. Complete opposite. Not just full emissions from the buring oil, but replacement oil “needs” to be dug up.
All of the ID verification, posing as age verification, legislation is for better thought monitoring of social credit too.

ok, ok… I’ll call her a cab.
But, what if she goes into labour on release day?
