@Lemommeringue This creates urgency to actually accomplish something in your time as a senator and doesn’t allow career politicians to rest on their laurels and drag change out across decades. This also fixes a fair amount of systemic corruption where one legacy groups controls both parties.
@Rothmus Do we think maybe the bottom 1% wouldn’t have to steal if there was better wealth distribution? Very few people want to steal it’s often need based.
@VerminusM Because the means of production already exist it’s just being hoarded by a small group of people vs shared with those who generated the product and productivity.
@DrDiGiorgio Your point only applies to 2 medical cases. What about maternal death rates? What about preventable disease death rates? Lack of access to care deaths? In your cherry picked examples sure don’t go to the UK or Canada. But they have much better lifetime care outcomes.
@OcrazioCornPop By prioritizing whole counties you effectively remove cites from the equation. Land doesn’t vote so you have to make fair maps using where people actually live. Houston has 8% of the population, this map has it with 1 seat out of 38 instead of 8% of 38 which is ≈3.
@elonmusk The difference is, white slaves aren’t slaves because of their skin color. It’s often religious or territorial. Black slavery, however IS because of skin color. Colonizers thought them lesser than human which started a pattern of oppression and abuse still occurring today.
@elonmusk First, this is slaves brought DIRECTLY to the US not “seasoned” in the Caribbean then moved here. It doesn’t account for the indigenous population enslaved. And lastly, the total number of just African descendent slaves is ~10 million in the US vs 1 million in N. Africa.
