This is not possible without first doing the things that I describe. (Or something similar.) Too many states are too heavily gerrymandered to disenfranchise minorities and other likely-Democratic voters for a Constitutional amendment that f

The vast majority of money for any given copyrighted work comes within the first few years of its existence. (This is extra true for things like video games.) Furthermore, current copyright terms are decades past the death of the creator .

Just to emphasize what the sibling comment said: You call the described actions "illegal", but under the law of the land as it stands today, nothing the President does is illegal if he can make even a vague claim to be doing it

There are better ways. In fact, there's plenty of evidence that prison is, in many cases, a net negative , as it takes people who committed crimes of opportunity or poverty and turns them into either hardened criminals who see it as a

[Citation needed] Multiple studies have shown that porn, in and of itself, is not damaging. The phenomenon of "porn addiction" appears to come entirely from people who think they shouldn't be looking at porn for various (most

There have been plenty of UBI pilot programs. They didn't have the problems you describe. Most people , including addicts, when presented with the money to get their lives together in meaningful ways, do just that.

What do you mean, "to get this to work"? It's a PHP array. It will return whatever you need it to. What is not working?

Plenty of US colleges and universities are primarily about education and/or research, even today. Far from all, to be sure—and some are primarily about connections and the school name (primarily Ivies), rather than any of the above.
