Racists are great for politicians because they are so profoundly easy to manipulate. They will overlook low wages, bad hours, high rents and exploitation as long as they can blame brown people. They are a gift to the oligarch class.

Why is a judicial court made from political appointees? A court has to be apolitical and unbiased.

If you don’t prosecute a guy for staging an insurrection … you can hardly complain when he goes on to break less important laws.

If a minority vote leads to majority power - it’s not a very good democratic system. Just saying. The electoral college is designed to disenfranchise.

But being told your lack of prosperity is down to migrants and not corporate greed is so much more appealing when you are racist to begin with.

How’s that working out for you?
A simpler solution is to not offer king powers to anyone. Not even a king.
Also try not to have your legal system dominated by political appointees. It’s an invitation to outright partisan decision making.

Electrification with solar and batteries reduces the cost of energy. What’s more it makes us less dependent upon dictators and unstable geopolitical elements.
Oh. And it means not killing the fucking planet.

But efficient design requires the fewest components. Additional limbs in a domestic setting would be an impediment. But your big bug would be great for disaster relief or industrial applications where a low centre of mass and stability are useful.

No. I don’t want a human being wiping my ass or carrying me to the toilet. It diminishes us both. A machine which gives me autonomy and independence is a good thing.

The legal system has inbuilt checks. Meanwhile a single corrupt individual has not. Not sure what the American “founding fathers” were smoking.
