Okay, so you just don’t believe in democracy. But this is how our system works — and many of the same people objecting now were cheering the radical Biden regime policies.

CA is a third as dense as Japan, as whole. Tokyo has 8.9M people while LA has 3.9M people; half the number. Osaka (3rd largest) is 2.7M people while San Jose (3rd largest) is just under 1M people; again, half the number. The distance from T

Between any two reals, there’s a whole copy of R. The original comment assumes its conclusion: it reduces to this smaller copy — then just jumps to the conclusion. It never actually tells us how to measure the ratio.

But steam has higher entropy than water has higher entropy than ice. I’m not sure I follow your description: as the universe empties, aren’t we at some point left with less and less happening per cubic meter?
