  • America's 1% doesn't like how Europe's bottom 99% seem to average better than America's bottom 99%—it's getting many Americans in America's bottom 99% to think that their country should be more like a European country.

  • I strongly oppose this and think it’s a bad idea because then you’ll be like Ukraine and your neighbors like Russia.

    Maybe Ukraine was foolish enough to give up its nukes. Also California and other Pacific states might want to leave.

    ​

    Instead we must win big in all 50 states.

    I don't see the Democrats winning big—though we will know in 10¼ months.

    ​

    Otherwise you’ll screw over tens if not hundreds of millions of people who will be forced to live in a a far-right extremist country.

    It's apparently what many Americans want.

    It's becoming an American tradition: bring in a shitty Republican about every 20 years. Today it's Trump. Before it was Dubya. Before him was Reagan, and before him was Nixon.

    ​

    Another reason why this is a bad idea is because blue states send a lot of good Democrats to congress. Taking that away means certain Republican domination in congress.

  • Comparing a million dollars to a billion dollars is like comparing one dollar to a thousand dollars.

    That's kind of like saying that comparing a billion dollars to a triillion dollars is like comparing one dollar to a thousand dollars.

  • IIRC, they expect people to first try to find the answers themselves—perhaps they could check out a few WP articles—no "Who's the Secretary of the Department of Interior" or similar questions;

    though my big (perhaps only) problem is that a question only stands for a while—maybe a few days or week or so—before it's archived. In some of the forums (non-WP) of about 20 years ago, one could answer questions asked months, maybe years, earlier that are still relevant.

    Still, I've gotten a few good answers to the few questions I posted on it.

    Hypothetical. Would this be permitted in a US state: long hours, little work, and sub-minimum wage. (please click for details).
