Just like the pit of infinite despair and spiked dildos is technically different from the pit of infinite spiked dildos and despair; being to the left of republicans because you want to burn orphans for warmth instead of fun does not make you left wing nor a good choice.

He's a billionaire, and he's a normal billionaire at that. Investing is literally the only thing they do.

Its also shit with experience. Just apply to literally everything and hope something in the salary range you want reaches out.

The act of stabbing your artery in order to stop the gangrene you got from repeatedly stabbing your arteries is indeed just as bad as dipping your gangrenous tissue into your open wounds to spread it faster. Neither make you better. Neither is a true stopping point.

Or in other words, Dems are the clutch and reps are the gas. You have no brakes. You might be able to stop without a brake, maybe even stay stopped. But shits going to get worse no matter which you choose since you're actively ignoring the brakes.

The lower tiers vote for the higher tiers, and anyone can join government.

As far as your concern, there's a reason the government in china actually works, vs the US that stagnates for decades.

Only actually qualified people have power. You prove yourself over years. Xi, for example, has a doctorate and decades of proven experience; and that was after winning his external elections.

to compare to to western democracy, you don't vote for prime minister, the people you voted for votes for prime minister. Just add a few layers with publicly auditable and contestable elections.

Its run by the communist party, whose purpose is guiding the country to communism and self dissolution; which has necessitated not skipping over the industrial and consumer revolutions, both of which likely require capitalism, but in any case have been done with capitalism so that path is easier and known, allowing them to benefit from the waste from less competent countries.

Or in other words, they're the only country in history to execute billionaires, whatever they are is objectively better than the US or EU.

The problem with having 365 million people or so in a sick society that encouraged and rewards destroying each other is that things get worse automatically.

Dems doing nothing makes things worse. Reps doing nothing makes things worse. Its a prisoners dilemma where the only winning move is to kill the cops and hope for the best.

If al gore won we'd have still invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, it would just be in bush jrs first term in 2004 that we invade Iraq.

You have to agree communism is the goal, that's the party. Within that party are hundreds of factions that are all striving for votes so china gets to communism in the way they think is best. That's the democracy.

Its like if the US formalized an oath to continue being loyal to the US into a single party that you have to join in order to be in politics; and from there split into dem/rep parties. You'd still vote for factions and reps, but all of them would be required to at least have the same ending goal in mind.

It prevents people like trump from getting far, as keeping up appearances isn't really possible the longer you spend in the party.

There are of course downsides to this approach, but a lack of choice isn't really one of them; you just don't get to vote for the destruction of the government or country.

That's a matter of changing the PID compensations, it's not a difficult problem. Do you think all drones can do a barrel roll? There are nonagile drones in operation right now, in swarm configurations. Not as large as a car, but again, that's a matter of tweaking the PID, nothing more or less.

To put it another way you don't restart learning how to drive a car each time you drive a new car. You tweak your internal pids to that of the new car. The difference is humans are stupid, slow, and have terrible coordination that can't be immediately transferred over a fleet.

And they communicate in real time while individually checking their collision sensors for non swarm obstacles. The technology is 100% there, the flight capabilities do not matter nor the fact it's a passenger vehicle; we have the algorithm and sensor packages right now to do what you think is a hundred years away.

No I've just been to countries that aren't stupid enough to have overhead power lines anywhere near residential or commercial properties, even in rural communities. The amount of money you save by being lazy with overhead lines is eaten up by the constant repair and maintenance, and in a competent country, health costs that they inevitably cause.

Underground lines are the only sensible solution. I mean you should be generating power that far from its primary draw anyway.

Why would they fly into the deep rural country side where power lines exclusively are?
