Imagine a wounded centaur with the horse part dead and the human part just writhing on the ground fully alive. Morbidly hilarious that image is

I like Luna

Nah, there is some scents there. As in, I barely care, but I could care less.

I hate to spoil the fun, but it took me a while to get this because the word is pronounced “day-tuh”

They are not being reductionist, not to the degree you are claiming. It’s true it’s more complicated than “capitalism bad!” but you are talking on the other extreme of the spectrum and you are also wrong. Capitalism absolutely encourages and instills messages of “having things and showing disposable income means you are higher class”.

Because until 30 seconds ago you thought horses were not native to America

This is actually brilliant. You could run them at like 5 rpm and have complete silence

That’s the problem with having money to lose to keep from losing money in the long term: firmly established companies with money to spare can always keep startups from succeeding, and all they have to do is wait out the limited money of smaller competitors to get back to ripping off the consumer

There are 331.9 million people in the US. How many people need to be randomly selected for each issue? Okay I did look this up, approx 385 would do, with 5% margin of error. Which actually seems like a lot. Bump that to 97% confidence and it jumps to 1309. Idk seems like a lot of people to randomly select for each issue or even for each short term whatever we deem that to be. Plus then they need to vote, are we just looking for a standard majority?

That’s not representation of the people. That’s representation of one individual (or one small group of individuals) in each instance. May be different individuals, but one instance might be dealing with an act of war, the other might be local infrastructure.
