@wahlstedt007 I don’t think about the German political situation at all.

As a German, I find the political situation in United States very stressful. How hard must it be for the American people???

I'm starting to think that maybe the CERN split included people who learned different rules for the order of operations, from a dimension where the "in the order that they appear" rule doesn't exist.

@fredgeck @giveashitnature Trucks deliver outside opening hours (they get permits), all shops selling big stuff (like furniture) are bankruped. For some years, when the Krone was really weak, the city center was crowded by Chinese luxury shoppers.

Oslo had 41 road deaths in 1975. By 2019, that number was one: a single driver who hit a fence. Oslo effectively ended road deaths by redesigning its downtown for people instead of cars. They removed 700 street parking spaces and replaced them with 37 miles of protected bike lanes and pocket parks. They lowered speed limits inside and outside the city. Many streets to car traffic entirely. They created "heart zones" around every elementary school where cars can't pick up or drop off kids. Did it kill the city? Nope. Retail sales at shops went up. Kids started walking and biking to school unsupervised. Air quality improved measurably and traffic congestion got better because fewer people wanted to drive through a pedestrianized downtown. Every piece of Oslo's strategy is available to any American city that wants it. The problem is solved, now we just need to implement it.

@greendragonhq People are not monolithic party loyalists. Each side would create a liberal/ conservative split. All this party stuff is just to split us and have us tribal. The real power is the independents not the radicals in the parties.

If we split the United States down the middle for 5 years and Democrats controlled half while Republicans controlled the other, the citizens of the Republican side would be begging to switch sides.

10 red states have or are in the process of imposing brutal gerrymanders without a single vote. 2 blue states have responded with voter-approved temporary redraws. Democrats have also introduced a bill to ban gerrymandering nationwide. Both sides are not the same.

One radical idea: end gerrymandering through at-large U.S. House seats apportioned by partisan voting patterns. Example: 30 percent of a state votes for Democrats? There are 10 seats in that state in total? 3 go to Democrats. The same would apply for my party. It’s fair, reflects the way people really vote and is more representative than the salamander shaped districts we currently see. Math is fair, everyone understands it, and if voters want to change the apportionment, they have to register and vote differently.

@joakial_ Most people understand this. Most people like taxes that benefit them and society in general, but hate taxes that are just waste and corruption. That's the rub. We see too much waste and corruption.

Okay, 2 things: 1. It's horrid that the U.S. minimum wage has been flat for 18 years. A colossal injustice making generational wealth impossible for the working class. Immoral. 2. But TWENTY-FIVE BUCKS? How can small businesses make that work? Why not increase it $1 each year?
