Not only do we have to have these surveillance buildings thrust into our communities against our will, we also have to pay the fucking Nazi bastards to put them in?

We see it in studying state legislatures who have term limits. (I studied this in graduate school before switching to a different master’s program)
Term limits doesn’t change how much power and money are available. It just changes who controls that power and money (the budget.) If the congressmen lose some of that power via term limits, that power doesn’t go away. It doesn’t go unused. It gets scooped up and used by the lobbyists to get things passed a naive congress.
Worst, you create perverse incentives where congressmen are locked out of running for re-election, so they take their expertise and contacts gained in office and work for the lobbyists that used to lobby them.
No, as good as term limits sound, it’s much, much better to leave it up to the voters to decide who their rep will be. If they want a 40 year veteran or a rookie every two years, that’s their choice to make.


Term limits increase the power of lobbyists.


There’s also more of them.


In another context, the AI company is raping that community.
That’s what it means to govern without consent, essentially.


The nice thing about buildings is they’re all flammable.
Same thing with politicians who refuse to respect the will of the people.


And then conservatives are like, why do people keep trying to shoot at us?
BECAUSE YOU’RE GOING TO KILL US ALL YOU DAFT CUNTS


You’re meant to apply your brain AND THINK.
God, even the dumb people from 30 years ago are smarter than the average person today.


Dunning-Kruger?


You can always tell whose frontal lobes haven’t fully formed before they post by how incapable of nuance they are.


She clearly meant shots as in the backshots Donald and his pedofriends would be giving to teenagers after the event.


We need to scrap the entire US government and start over.


None of that is the same thing as the government deciding for people what those people can and cannot do with their own goddamn bodies.
This is Basic Freedom 101 stuff.
No, the government should not have the right to arbitrarily bifurcate the population into people it allows to be free and people it does not.


Can I also regulate what you eat and how much you exercise, how much booze and wine, etc? Or have we decided freedom and intellectual consistency were constructs of the 20th century?


Everyone should be wearing a Luigi mask anyway.
Like in V for Vendetta, but Saint Luigi instead.


How kind of the government to decide that people born after 2008 have fewer freedoms than those born before it!


For real: Because it’s been too long since people rose up and killed a bunch of corrupt shitheads.


I am going to run for Congress in 2028, and my entire platform is going to be built around making it legal to Luigi corrupt people and burn down corrupt businesses.
This shit is not going to stop until we get bloody.


Is that a mirror or a microphone?
A wooden baseball bat starts at like $75 for quality wood and never runs out of ammo, in case you’re worried that there are more rich sociopaths than there are bullets in your backpack.
