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.

Keep in mind that there are also foreign intelligence interests in posting divisive shit online

Always nice to see another weevil in the wild

Right? The guy is one of the most predictable people on earth because his entire being is a sucking hole of narcissism.

Drugs that make you pass out and any amount of water you're able to submerge yourself in do not mix.

I like lifting, I genuinely hate core Day. Something about it convinces my body I'm dying and all I want to do is vomit.

1 calendar year to evacuate, salted nuclear weapons as semi-permanent area denial. Now no one can have it.

Or, markets sometimes go down. They can't all grow infinitely forever.

Wait who refreshes outlook manually?? My emails usually pop up within 15 seconds of getting a notification on my phone

Full on gladiator combat games is absolutely on my late stage capitalism bingo card. UFC is a baby step on that path.

You mean modern Christianity?

This causes panic because Capitalism demands that everything must continue to grow, eternally.

Why have a child so they can grow up to fight in the water wars or die of famine during ecological collapse?

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.

A meme in our last local election for governor was, "Mark Ronchetti Fucks Dogs. Bad for dogs, bad for New Mexico."

It was hugely successful. He was actively being cyber bullied on Twitter.

"Only the National Guard is well regulated."

"Only white men can join the National Guard."

Done

The federalist papers very much show they were aware of that threat.

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.

This. My phone camera takes ultra high resolution pictures then algorithmically processes them. They look more beautiful and real than reality.
