The plumber a couple weeks ago showed me some pictures of the pipes from the inside. It explains why I needed filter cartridges for my shower, why my sink needed looking at, how come the toilet was losing flushing power, and why the water heater's recirculator never worked. Turns out, the thing burned out from debris.
This residence totally needs a revamp, well beyond my means. 😒
The pipes in my residence are at least 60 years old, made of metal, and the resulting water tastes a bit suspect. I get water from the grocery store and put it in the water cooler. Costs about $10-20ish for 20 gallons, but probably far safer than what the tap provides.
There is a simple way to eliminate ties: the President's Justice can have a vote that breaks tied results. Otherwise, their vote is merely a +1. It is only when there is an exact split of votes that it becomes +2.
Anyhow, I don't think the amount of justices is about representing state population size. It is more about ensuring that there is a variety of minds to consider an issue, and to prevent Federal power from stacking the courts with their preferred type of mindset. The most important thing is to eliminate corruption, as that is the ultimate killer of morality and thoughtful deliberation.
Actually, the whole point of Akumetsu is to make society aware of what is happening. It is basically "drain the swamp", with a question posed to the public: "Will you pour back in pure water?"
Anyhow, Akumetsu's theatrics are actually VERY deliberate and coordinated. The nature of the protagonist is wholly different from Light's modus operandi.
The supreme court system as we know it needs to be replaced outright. I think that term and age limits (10 years, age 60), plus each state popularly electing 1 supreme justice to represent them, would be the right way to go. The president can elect a justice to represent their administration, who is replaced by the next president's pick. Also, a ban on gifts of any shape. No more motorcoaches!
This would make it much harder for justices to become politically captured, or culturally out of touch.
The most amazing thing is that he actually gave a damn about his people and nation. Can't say I ever really felt that with any president during my life.
Democratic leaders should have bodyguard details that they have personally chosen outside of the Federal framework. The violence will keep escalating, both stochaostic and direct.
...Honestly, it would be best if Fascist America attacked Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and California simultaneously. That kind of malicious action would almost certain get the Trump Regime's dick stuck into a hornet's nest.
Not saying it should happen. But if the regime is dead set on attacking Greenland, it should be in the stupidest way possible.
I would prefer Akumetsu myself. It is basically if the Punisher and Joker did a fusion dance, and made it their mission to take down corrupt politicians. Luigi taken up to 11.
I hope Trump lives long enough, that we can Nuremberg Peter Thiel and other leaders of Project 2025. The odds of that go down if the neoconfederates have an effective leader.
Being an open source program, the Blue States can modify it for their own taxation apparatus. The money intended for the Federal can be held in escrow, then released into service of the states if the Federal doesn't negotiate with the Blue States in good faith.
They don't need excuses, the Regime will just manufacture one.
What we should do is develop mutual aid and federate factions together. Black Panthers should escort peaceful protestors, and peaceful protestors should render medical assistance, supplies, and shelter to those who must engage in conflict. Peaceful protest and violent resistance are the anvil and hammer of democracy.
By trying to prevent people from considering violence, the hammer of reform is stolen from us. We shouldn't allow this to happen, as it serves the interests of those who want to oppress us.
