Term limits would also remove anyone with any potential to collect enough power to change the system. And there is nothing that prevents the replacements from abusing the power and control afforded to them in similar or worse ways. They&#x2

Should the Presidency be a special case? It is a special case. Unless you are saying we need to abolish the position entirely and just rely on the legislative and judicial branches of the government on their own. But until that happens th

My main concern without term limits is when an elected official moves from being popular and effective at their job to being effective at getting reelected. How does forcing new candidates every number of years ensure that elected officia

Are term limits more representative of performance than votes?
126.
by Goronmon 3y ago
Term limits are just a mechanism to transfer power to un-elected officials and lobbyists, and to make sure any decent politicians are kicked out before they can have any lasting impact. Imagine working at a job where there were rules that f

So then it's not because "Bing sucks" but because of the money Google is paying.

If that's the case, why is Google paying so much to stay the default search provider?

by Goronmon 3y ago
So they're mad that Google paid a bunch of money to keep them from being the default because they wanted to pay a bunch of money to keep everyone else from being the default, but Google had more money than them? Yes? Because the issu

The sky was supposed to fall if net neutrality were abrogated, and IME, that hasn't happened. ISPs aren't run by complete idiots. They knew this current switch back was a likely possibility. If they had rushed to implement servi

Those connectors seem like solid metal, seems like it would take ludicrous force to break it like that. Not that much force. Just a two year old who grabs something before you can stop them unfortunately.

The Lightning connector was superior in many ways. I have no idea why everyone is celebrating this downgrade. You say it's a downgrade, but the only issues I've had with cables in this context are lightning connectors where the

If you don't think it's working, why not go back with ideas to improve it, rather than doing less work? Doesn't sound like "less work", it sounds like they did the amount of work management wanted them to do. Just

There is a lot of strategy in Diablo 1. Unlike Diablo 2, you are much less able to just wade into hordes of monsters. Sure, you camped at doorways and killed monsters as they pathed in front of you individually. Though, I'm not sure

A couple feet of water is still disastrous though. You're insurance most likely doesn't cover it and you could be left with tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage easily.

I think that backlash is mostly from the “5g is globalist plot to control us” folks. I've definitely seen it framed as a "left-wing" plot that the right/Republicans need to fight against. Same thing as the fight agains
