We're going to need to, at the very bare minimum, fix campaign finance before we are able to produce a party that will fight for a stable democracy. Tbh, I don't see any way going back to democracy and rule of law is possible with

Bruh I use nothing but apple products and I had never even heard of homekit before this post.

Owning land. Whoever came up with this idea needs to be hung and revived a million times, and then tortured to death a million more. Our society has been mutilated as a result. I think you could ascribe this to either NIMBY or YIMBY harebra

taxi apps, delivery apps, social media apps—all of these require a market that's extremely expensive to build but is also extremely lucrative to exploit and difficult to unseat. You see this same model with big-box stores displacing lo
