  • Moving towards something doesn’t imply that cars are being obliterated or banned. Funnily enough, whenever I’m in an unpleasant altercation with a driver, they tend to have plates from far away. If they want to drive their cars out in the country, they can do so - when you’re in a dense urban area (which is the most sustainable way to arrange people), you can park and get on the subway with the rest of us.











  • Interesting viewpoint. As a fellow American, I think that that kind of power would actually give POTUS the amount of power that the public seems to think they have. It’s really the only way the federal government has to hold a Swiss-style referendum on a topic.

    even if (and I assume there are) requirements for an election in X amount of time, can’t do it too often, etc.

    I think the check there is “Why have you done this twice in 6 months? Parliament/Congress/Legislature, please impeach this clown.”

    Here in the US Congress isn’t just lawmakers, they do investigations, have committees, etc. and act as a check on executive power

    Most legislatures around the world do the same things? I’m not sure why you think the French government is so different, especially given how much French culture/politics/philosophy influenced the Founding Farmers.
