Still gotta buy citizens' votes, not that it's difficult or anything, as the 94.3% (2016 presidential results) shows. It's just a reminder that it comes down to the voters, and the propaganda and old cliches work to this day. It is indeed strictly business, always has been.
Where's the opposition? Disasters everywhere and everyone's in a daze. The best we get is gridlock. Actual improvement is *off the table*. Pelosi will guarantee that. Round and round we go! WEEE!
Yes, you are describing corruption. Personal gain is what the bureaucrats are after. The problem is that the voters don't mind. If they did, they would vote accordingly. Let's cut to chase, the details are frivolous, the fundamentals are everything.

And the reference to middle class is vacuous.
But it buys votes.
Heh, the nostalgia is on their part, not mine. Stay inside your bubble as you see fit.
That's a hell of a thing to say! It's a desolate frozen rock!
History takes precedence. Math has no power over the irrational human.
What is now disabled will soon be prohibited.
This is a voluntary certification programme
Yes, they always start that way.
The post you replied to was making a point about why the American Revolution was needed - because it supposedly prevents acts like this.
Oh please! The American "Revolution" was needed to wipe out debts and zero the books. It had nothing to do with "acts like this".
For what?
No problem
The majority votes to protect their power. Everything is consensual.
the only real proof is a past borrowing history.
Nah, you can always fudge the books and hardly get slapped on the wrist. Still happening today.
because you have no say in the matter either way.
Bullshit. We voted for our government. It is a perfect reflection.
If the government doesn't give a shit, it's because the voters don't.
It's pretty smoggy up there, even at 35,000 feet.
Heh, you answered your own question. Sorry, the 'lesser shitty' game is too old hat... It's what brought us to this...
Yeah well, it's not like the voters are objecting much
Monorail!
I guess they can always turn the place into one of those "boutique" breweries...
Keep challenging your friends and family to explain the difference between the two parties
Nope, wouldn't be prudent... Everybody has to take their own initiative
The fundamental change to process that is needed is only going to happen on a long timeline.
Yes, an evolutionary one.
The service it used to provide was quite good. The government is only as good or bad as the voters make it. You are wagging the dog.
You can also trust the post office. Expect more people like these to take pot shots against it.

The new Ford Iguana...
Damn thing drove off to Arizona and left me here in the frozen north.
Please! Pull the other one! This is how they sell your info. Now with plausible deniability.
