Yes. Except for the last 1/4.

It has already happened

Tea bricks were the preferred form of currency over metallic coins for the nomads of Mongolia and Siberia. The tea could not only be used as money and eaten as food in times of hunger but also brewed as allegedly beneficial medicine for treating coughs and colds. Until World War II, tea bricks were still used as a form of edible currency in Siberia

Money can be anything.

You only get money if you do what the lobbyists (not the voters) want.

What is the incentive for the democratic party to ever chase votes rather than money?

Maybe being roughly screwed for 4 years is better than being gently screwed for 12+ years by a party that argues in court that it doesn’t have to follow any voting rules because it is a private corporation.

The DNC unilaterally presented Harris who received 20% less votes than Biden in 2020. Non-voters have sent a clear message that it is the DNCs fault.

Academic research is the standard that should be aimed for. References and no opinions.

Yes, it is possible to fact check with integrity. Not like this example.

Opinions should not enter into fact checking as opinions are not fact.

In this case the job of these people is clearly to perform damage limitation for the WEF

This is why fact checks are bullshit. Reuters admits that

a WEF social media video from 2016 that stated eight predictions about the world in 2030, including: “You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy. What you want you’ll rent, and it’ll be delivered by drone.”

Now to make the statement false they bring in a strawman “Stated goal” condition and prove that particular part to be false, then claim that makes the whole thing false.

Such bullshit.

What I was fishing for. Thanks.

I vote John von Neumann for tech savant.

Chatgpt is decidedly unerotic in its responses.

Not voting at all is just laziness.

Spoiled ballots may have some long term influence. But they have no power over the election being boycotted.

Certainly not. But choosing to punish at this precise opportunity would be like shooting your own feet.

Punish at the local level. Punish by supporting voting reform. Etc.

You have to think of the lack of primary as a sunk cost. The decision in front of you is independent of all previous decisions.

IMHO, RFK jr is pro environment and anti big phama. He changes his policies based on fashion more than money. He is populist, not corporatist.

Both the Republican and Democrat parties are corporatist because of lobbying. Nothing to do with Trump. If we voted Hillary and Kamala then the same court outcome would occur.

How does a 1998 law have retroactive rights over previously published works?

Grobow v. Perot, 539 A.2d 180 (Del. 1988).

Directors in a business should:

• act in good faith;
• act in the best interests of the corporation;
• act on an informed basis;
• not be wasteful;
• not involve self-interest (duty of loyalty concept plays a role here).
