Maybe a fair allocation of sattelites would be proportional to the number of citizens with voting rights in the country. Maybe with some modifier about how impactful that voting can actually be (eg. citizen initiatives vs. just electing representatives from a preselected pool).

- Normal_gaussian 3mo agoCan, but won't.
- JuniperMesos 3mo agoAs a California resident I really don't like the idea of a legal framework that encourages more citizen initiatives. They would be used to try to prevent building more housing.
- snovv_crash 3mo agoCitizen initiatives are the only thing that can cut across partisan lines and stop politics from turning into tribal warfare.
- m4rtink 3mo agoMaybe fix the system so there are not just two parties & bad parties fail to be voted in?
- snovv_crash 3mo agoThen you need combinatorial parties to support every possible political combination. Rather just have people vote on the policies themselves.
- JumpCrisscross 3mo ago> a fair allocation Who is doing this allocation? Who is going to tell Pyongyang, Beijing or Moscow they can’t launch anymore?

- JumpCrisscross 3mo ago> it would be a UN body No UN body can command a nuclear sovereign. They ultimately continually consent to oversight.
- vova_hn2 3mo ago> No UN body can command a nuclear sovereign. Why not, though? If any country violates their limit, just issue a concern. If they ignore it, upgrade it to a grave concern. Then they will surely have to obey, I mean, it's grave concern we're talking about, what else they could do?
- tick_tock_tick 3mo agolol and who's going to enforce it? The only things enforced are when USA/Russia/China care about it.
