Lots of people seem happy to vote against their own self interests. They fail to imagine a future where they may want to use the same mechanism to help themselves. Honestly, I've just accepted that a large portion of people are incredibly stupid, easily manipulated, and lack any sort of understanding of how their actions may impact their own future.
Hopefully they dont win this special election. Good luck to those voting No!
Pence deserves every bit of this that he gets. He propped up the bile and hatred when it supported him gaining power. Now that he faces the ire and wrath of those same people I can only feel schadenfreude.
This is a very Polyannaish take and places way too much faith in a "free market" and government oversight. There is no free market when we are regularly allowing companies to get massive and become practical monopolies. When was the last time a company faced serious repercussions for getting too big?
There is certainly some more competition among smaller, local businesses. And the price of land/real estate can be an issue for them. But I would also ask to see how much the business owner is making in relation to their employees.
All that being said, I would like to see landownership completely overhauled, if not abolished.
Comix Zone. It was a beat-em-up on the Sega Genesis with a gorgeous, comic book art style. It wasn't the greatest game, but it had character and it stood out against some of the other fighting games at the time. I'd really love a remake or sequel at some point. Doing it in the style of the Spider-verse movies would be rad.
