Isn't he British?
If they had a constitution, it would require all ~~subjects~~ citizens complain, while muttering, "mustn't grumble".
All I do:
- Run updates daily
- Disable password logins
- Run sshguard
- Daily backups to a cloud and off-site host
I think that's it. I have my host exposed to the Internet. As far as I know, it's fine.
BTW, sshguard is for the IMAP and SMTP that run on the host, which do allow password logins. But it helps reduce load from brute force attacks on port 22 (which are pointless anyway).
I'm much more worried about my son installing dodgy Minecraft mods, or my wife installing another app that she saw on TikTok. I really should put them each on a separate VLAN....
The 17th Amendement requires the direct election of Senators. Blue state accept red states' votes for those.
If you're going to make an argument based on bad faith of states, then the US basically ceases to exist as a republic, regardless of whether you have the compact.
I think maybe you misunderstood the compact.
I'm your example, the states who signed the compact would all put their votes to candidate Y, assuming they had more popular votes in all states.
It's not "join us or be punished", it's "we will implement the will of the majority, not matter what".
Supreme Court: "Not like that."
Nobody gets disenfranchised. Rather this compact enables the radical idea of "one person, one vote".
It's not completely pseudo-science, as there are a lot of correlations with things like academic success or job performance:

Political revolutions usually involve a wealthy class being kept away from political power, combined with a particularly unpopular and stupid absolute ruler.
In the US, the wealthy are the political class, and while Trump is stupid and unpopular he has only been in power a year. Most people think he will be gone in 3 more years, and even if he jettisons the Constitution and stays in as President, he is old and unhealthy.
Just to be clear, you probably don't want to take it during the flight.
I believe it.
I worked with an Englishman who has lived in the Netherlands for more than 20 years without learning Dutch.
We had a work trip to Madrid, and he went the weekend beforehand for a short vacation. I ran into him on Sunday night and asked him how it went. He said it was terrible, because he's a vegetarian and couldn't eat anything because nobody spoke English. He didn't know what to order or how to ask if something was vegetarian. He was outraged that nobody spoke English. In Madrid. The capital of Spain. π
