this is just more argument for billionaires being worse than the government. remove moneyed interests and you'll have a functioning government beholden to the people.

you're literally talking about moneyed interests having too much control over the government. so yeah, billionaires and corporations are worse than the government in general. if you get rid of billionaires and shackle corporations, the DNC wouldn't need to care about them over their constituents. same with the media. remove billionaires and chop up media conglomerates.

yes because that's what i said. sorry to burst your bubble but they do answer to the people. this is literally what the people voted for. the fact that they didn't think about it much doesn't change this.

no, trusting the government is not as foolish as trusting billionaires. I won't take this Reagan crap. the government is about a million times more useful than all billionaires have ever been combined. and it has to answer to the people. billionaires don't. unless you start making them answer.

are store bought matches typically stormproof?

the idea is that the guillotine is for the current ones.

you can get rid of billionaires altogether by taxing 100% of every dollar above ten million, for example.

laptop outside is fine but on the beach? why don't you pour the sand in manually at home?

I'm no expert but at this point I think it's a pretty safe bet that things come back if you stop vaccinating against it.

it's a crime that there isn't an Android version actually. I'd definitely be playing it.

I'm sure i will, i love tactical games and there are very few that really satisfy the feeling I'm looking for. XCOM is pretty much the codifier of the genre but it was brutal for me. I loved and finished Marvel Midnight Suns, and Tactical Breach Wizards was surprisingly good. good gameplay, really good writing. I'd love to go back into it actually.
