Woah! And I thought we had it bad here. There has to be a way to set some kind of reasonable barrier for entry

It wasn't so much confusing as it was over saturated, like not even half the candidates had statements in the voter pamphlet and many didnt respond to questionnaires or anything. City council was even worse, my district had the entire back of the page filled with candidates like 20+ names.

I'm someone that likes to take time and research candidates, I'm all for choice, I'd rather have it than not, but I can certainly see how it turned people off of the idea, perhaps intentionally.

Peoples lived experiences under Trump turned out to be better than their current ones under Biden, pretty simple. It's all vibes.

"Monero is useless if you have to set up PayPal."

Meaning they already know your identity because of PayPal(or other required kyc), so using xmr doesnt have any benefit at that point.

I wish people who claim to know about economics understood what a hypothetical is.

So I'm talking about "if we had a magic wand" and here you go changing the rules and taking it away.

I'm sure there are places for economics professors such as yourself to discuss these things seriously, but this ain't it.

Now taking back my magic wand, I'm also casting a spell to take advantage of the fact that stocks can be used as collateral for loans, and since my first cast was to move the funds to a public trust I'm now directing said trust to take out loans and give everyone housing, they'll be paid back over time by a combination of gradually selling off the remaining stocks at a pace that doesnt shock the market...

But I swear if you take my wand away again when I get it back I'm just going to crash the stock market out of spite.

So instead of using our magic want to just take it all and convert it to cash we convert 1/4th to cash and keep the rest invested how it was with just the ownership changing to a public trust, that could fund welfare indefinitely based off just the interest and dividend payments that would otherwise just go to the former billionaire doubling their net worth every 5 years.

How long until they run of of ideas and just ban all women entirely

Ah yes wiping out hundreds of democrat (and some non Democrat) votes in two of the bluest cities in the north west will surely have an impact on the election.
