You guys (Americans) need to stop with the personality cults. It was cute and funny when it was sports stars and actors, but it slipped down the slope when it’s dangerous malignant narcissists like Trump and Musk. The attitude is the same, though, stop glorifying other people so much, whether it’s on the left or right. No amount of democracy will fix that loophole for populists.

Do you have any idea how many rich and powerful people would dream of such power vacuums to take advantage of?

why not both?

I agree, this is just leftover momentum.

Reaganomics was a bullet to this nation's brain stem. Citizens United was just the capitalists pissing on the long dead corpse for fun.

This place is just the command center for multinational oligarchs to wage war on the rest of humanity to increase short term profit expectations.

No, United States cannot be a state, that's just grammatical nonsense.

Come check out Oklahoma! Where you can be both the Secretary of Transportation and head the Turnpike authority (at least for a year, until the attorney general gets off his ass)!

Thousands of dollars in COVID funds earmarked for education went to buying Christmas trees and TVs. (State superintendent and Secretary of Education also got to be positions held by the same person - with two paychecks!) We also are trying to be national leaders in ignoring the first amendment and establishing a religious online charter school!

it's full of shit.

Stretches of the Mississippi River within the park corridor exceed water quality standards for mercury, bacteria, sediment, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyl), and nutrients. Unfortunately, these "impairments" can make the water unsuitable for fishing, swimming, and drinking. Mar 6, 2023

It has the lowest HDI in the US. (0.866) That would put it between San Marino and Chile on the country HDI rating. (44th highest overall)

"The UK political system is like the US, but whimsically worse" - John Oliver

From his piece on the UK elections. Probably not 100% correct, but should be somewhat close.

Didn't say better, just order

UK political system needs a complete overhaul but it is not worse.

But every other state despises that we can. It's a real nut punch when other states are jealous of our GDP.
