First time I’m hearing about that fallacy, but it seems to imply deceptive intent which I have none. You can also have machine screws in your peanut butter sandwich but it doesn’t mean it makes sense.

Then there is no point in having states.
Then it’s a punishment of $100 if you don’t vote. UBI as a reward for participating in our democracy would be a great step. A punishment would be a fine or jailtime.
Why only $100 and not the whole UBI allowance?
Why even have states? Good way to get rid of jerrymandering would be to get rid of imaginary borders. No states, no senate necessary.
Make UBI entirely dependent on voting. Don’t vote, no UBI check.
Make it tied to your UBI check. Now it’s incentivized so enforcement not needed.
Then what you’re really saying is abolish the concept of states and have a single federal state.
We still have that, it’s called the Xbox/PS/Wii channels on the Roku TV. It’s just not a knob like back in the day.
The Talos Principle 2. After spending nearly all day on it yesterday, I am hooked. It really does it justice to the first one, I just wish they would release a VR version as the original in VR made the game much more intimate for me—I never played the pancake version.
Works great on my Steam Deck, too.
If this is legit and not corruption and bitcoin eventually takes off to ungodly levels, imagine the biggest bet in history paying off and their country turns around as an economic powerhouse. Risky and stupid but would make a good movie.
Why do you think the states govts should continue to exist if they do not have a direct voice at the Federal level?
