  • It can be, when it isn't hamstrug by stupid regulations.

    In the US the government tends toward being ineffective because it typically isn't allowed to do much on its own. For almost everything it hires contractors to execute a function and then serves as oversight for the contractor. The only real exceptions I can think of to this outside of the military are the postal service, the forest service, and the FAA. All of which are pretty notably effective considering the depth and breadth of the service they provide, and provide high quality, long term employment.

  • Bro just use your phone. If it's android, use AIReader. Free, incredibly configurable, can read every type of book file. Dark mode, adjustable brightness for reading before bed. It gets so dark that I can't even read the minimum setting in a pitch black room. Best e-reader app I've ever found and I've been using it for probably 10 years now.

  • Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things.

    Removing threats to democracy because that democracy is so flawed that it gave you the power to do so legally, and then using that power to eliminate the ability for it to be used again, is heroic.

  • I don't know that I'd call them idealistic. They were landed nobles who didn't want to pay the increased taxes levied on them. Which in turn were to pay for the war their government had fought on their behalf to protect them from the native people whose land they had stolen. By exterminating those native people.
