Okay, let's start with my hours, salary, and other benefits... If they're going lay on extra workload, make sure there's a matching increase on the flip side.
You won't know until you try. Eh, better to stick with the devil you know and trust.. I mean really, the human race is flourishing in spite of it all.
Political connections can only be nurtured by lots of time and money. There won't be time for either when you don't know who your next pansy is going to be.
The funny thing is that the people you elect don't run the show, bureaucrats and staffers do. Nobody elected them, and some have been there over 40 years. All that has to go, if you are serious about reforming your government.
Like I said, if a kid can be drafted to shoot a rifle at strangers, then he is just as qualified to sit in congress.
So now you have neither capable politicians nor capable bureaucrats and staff, but a bunch of newbies every year.
Sounds like you have a problem with your educational system and raising children in general if they aren't capable of anything when they grow up. Well, if you're happy with today's bullshit, then carry on, but your complaints will only draw ridicule from me.
Not at all. Bureaucrats and staffers go out the window also, all of them, with each cycle. The idea is to turn our elected officials into the servants they are supposed to be. The present system does not allow that.
If a kid fresh out of high can be taught to fire a gun without killing himself, and you can depend on him to guard that wall, he can be given a proper education in governance. By the way, no careerism in the military is permitted either. We don't need a bunch of desktop generals who have proven nothing other than being efficient paper pushers
If you want to slog along with the same old same old, be my guest, but it makes all your complaints sound rather silly, and you will be mocked:-)
To paraphrase: The best argument against democracy (and yes, even democratic republics) is a five minute discussion with the average voter.
Toss it all out, it is corrupt by nature, and appoint everybody by lottery for one term only. Only then can we get the turnover needed to eliminate the careerism and mitigate the corruption.
Why can't we have a pipeline that brings fresh water, instead of oil?
No money in it... It would saturate the market. The system doesn't work without scarcity, and contented people are hard to motivate. Every shortage we experience now is only due to a disagreement over the price.
That's standard operating procedure, and the dumbass voters fall for it every time. I can't blame them for doing what works to get themselves reelected. This is how the system works.
... when does someone in the military realize their oath to uphold and defend the US Constitution from all enemies both foreign and domestic basically requires them to nuke Washington DC?
Oh please. They would have had to attack Washington during the Whiskey Rebellion, or at least when the Aliens and Sedition Act was signed. The constitution didn't make it even four years before it was shredded.

Because FUCK YOU , that's why.
Excellent! The new policy is taking hold
I don't know how or where this "grow or die" idea began...
It began with the universe. Everything grows as big, or accretes as much as it can, and then it explodes. It's just nature, and so are we.
It's good to see somebody being made an example out of.
It's always better if you get the right guy...
Ah well, to hell with the court system then. Guilty until proven innocent!
Nice troll BTW

Tell me! That's why I just take my shit to the cleaners...
No it's not. It's just out of your comprehension. Your choice, I don't care.
Yeah, he is a bit pissed off.
In our economy, any action that is not devoted to expansion is seen as waste. Proper maintenance is seen as an expense, not investment.
Otherwise, you're just spewing reactionary BS with basis in anything resembling reality, making you no better than our whacko politicians.
You're right. Man will never fly.

Yeah, I guess you're right. Corruption keeps the peace on my side of the street, why am I trying to rock the boat?
Unless it has a gun built into the index finger

What, uphill, downhill, stop and go, steady state, with or against the wind? There's lots of things you aren't factoring in..
Old money is in banking and finance. New money is in oil.
Miles don't matter. Batteries are measured by the number of charge cycles.

Look in the same place you would find federal power to regulate weed.
Nothing else to say...
