    I assume that's part of the conservative goal due to how the senate works. They're gerrymandering the shit out of house seats and hoping for a liberal flight so they can control government with their ever shrinking minority.

    Damn, it sounds like he's implying that we need to get rid of evangelical Christians - the largest crime committing block in America.

    (Obviously we shouldn't get rid of any group based on such broad generalizations - he's a fucking asshole).

    In an ideal world it looks like monopoly busting but so much of America is only served by Walmart after decades of terrible antitrust that I don't have a clue how we'd make it happen. Price controls are a fucking terrible idea but I haven't heard her talk about it outside extreme medication circumstances so I'm more worried that her plan will be ineffectual rather than openly destructive.

    The most valuable bureaucrat in terms of antitrust is currently Lina Khan and Harris has been extremely wishy washy about whether she'll keep her on. By comparison Trump would clearly fire Khan on day one so Harris is still the obvious better choice - but I wish we could get her to commit to keeping Khan.

    I don't know anyone who was touting the cartels as a reason to legalize weed... weed is usually being legalized because 1) it's (relatively) harmless, 2) it has medicinal uses, 3) it was outlawed for racist reasons, and 4) it was causing mass incarceration and devastating black communities due to clearly racist enforcement.

    I loathe the introduction of traffic into tropico - I believe only Tropico 1 avoided having road congestion mechanics and while (iirc) 6 minimized the effect of congestion unless things were drastically mismanaged I honestly miss the days when that wasn't a factor. Managing road congestion makes it feel much more like any other city builder and some of them (3 iirc) have gone way fucking overboard with how problematic traffic gets.

    I loathe traffic and the necessity of cars in North America... I like building an economic utopia in Tropico and I'd like to minimize automobile usage outside commercial vehicles.

    None of the games have really felt as fun and thematic as the original and, imo, that's due in a large part to forcing NA levels of car usage regardless of political alignment.

    It'd be a weird world unless X/Twitter was government run. But at some point we're going to hit the mother of all lawsuits... email is a standard communication medium for folks and lots of people still, and have forever, used @ hotmail, yahoo or gmail addresses.

    It will be really fucking interesting the first time one of those companies seizes an address and diverts some critical notification.
