I haven't read the book. It just seems like wishful thinking that such limits on voting won't be turned around to oppress the population in general and minorities in particular.
I'm glad it worked out in the book, but can you think of any other government systems that worked out on paper, but failed their live run? I don't want to be part of that mistake, I'm busy enough being part of this American one right now.
Ehhh, I really don't think our problem lies in too many people voting. I'll take the sarcastic and over the top movie version please.
It sounds like you dodged a bullet or they weren't serious about hiring. I'd likely respond that "wouldn't it be more suspicious to have an account with almost no activity?"
That looks like a nice plot, thank you for sharing the picture. I always struggled on the best time to trim the old canes, do you prefer to do that in the fall after fruiting or spring?
There are always a few everywhere
If you want to make a change, you have to understand that you're going to fail a lot and that's ok. I don't really like to direct people to reddit, but mostly lurking there really helped me a few years ago before I even stopped drinking. https://www.reddit.com/r/stopdrinking/
I had a lot of times where I just wanted to not drink for one day for whatever reason. Then I stopped for a week here or there... then I tried it for a month to see if I could. Later, I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't drink on vacation so I'd be more present, and I kept going.

I looked at the link, but didn't see daily updates.
Why should they go down with the ship?
Put your energy here.
If you went to cash, perhaps you should move to treasuries instead to get 4-5% return in the meantime?
Otherwise, find mutual funds with exposure to euro markets to stay in the game. Time in the market will outperform timing the market. The market can remain irrational longer than you can afford to stuff cash under your mattress.
Why would they want to "fix" it?
I want Twitter to fail for how it's turned, but until shown otherwise, bluesky is another closed system. It's better than Twitter and I hope they prove me wrong.
I appreciate what you've shared and probably should give a book or two of his a chance.
