Well you're replying to me, so I'll take a crack at it. The whole purpose of the federal government is to represent the states, and the intention of the electoral colleges is to balance their interests. If the national popular vote was the only thing that mattered, there would be almost no reason for candidates to care about policy issues that uniquely affect states with smaller populations like Alaska.
Your math for California is off by a factor of ten. California's per-capita electoral votes would be 0.00000141025
There's a minimum representation of votes (3) for statehood. In Alaska's case there are a large number of natives who are directly affected by policy at the federal level. The state is also very important strategically for defense and energy production.
Probably because most other countries aren't under the justified suspicion that China is for directly repressing speech it doesn't like. It's a conspiracy theory but it's not at all absurd, it is plainly the most reasonable explanation for what is happening.
This isn't people being unaccounted for for a few minutes. It's people who normally doesn't do things for sensationalism saying something controversial and then going missing, and this happening in a pattern in one country in particular.
Yes by definition it's a conspiracy theory, but these people aren't providing a detailed accounting of the time they were away. That should rightly raise questions, and international media is absolutely ethically in the right in wondering publicly about their wellbeing.
People in China say something the government doesn't like and aren't heard from at all for a while, you really think they can say that something bad happened to them when they reappear?
It's also kind of childish to get offended at it, and even more childish to have your ego wrapped up in a game, especially one that you're not even playing
Watch next year's models have LTE modems...for your convenience of course
