I've always found it with that we just have these very important wires just lying there exposed on the sea bed... You'd think this kind of stack would have happened much more previously

Of all the other states, why is Kentucky of all things, the one you recognize?

When there's NY, California, or Texas in existence, and more importantly in media...

Not necessarily.

This does not end up how you think it does. Not allowing for unchecked corporate power doesn't mean consolidation of government power into the hands of a few.

Our system is broken because we allow corporations to go around the people and buy influence directly from politicians. Not all systems have to do that.

But Removing the people that corporations are currently buying influence from doesn't mean they do being bad. It just means they have even fewer obstacles to doing what they want than they do now.

I was pretty surprised by the barrenness of my wishlist. There's been shockingly few titles I've been that excited about. Almost nothing in the AAA realm. And the few things that I am waiting to come out have been on that list for several years already...

Not a great month for companies with the word United in them...

... that's not what that snippet seems to be indicating.

Getting rid of any concept of a state is what allows corporations to fill the gap. It's corporate feudalism. The only thing that can push back against a collective entity is another collective entity.

No one gives a shit, tough guy. Continue being belligerently ignorant if you want. This is where you're going to resolve your attention seeking issues.

This is the dumb kind of "best do nothing, because both no is perfect" approach to making sure no disincentives are ever taken because someone somewhere else might also try to do the illegal thing that they'll lose access to the moment they're caught...

When you step in to correct someone, but are this obviously wrong, don't go trying the call the other person out for it .. you're the one who's wrong. Sit down. Be quiet.

None of these systems interact in an easy enough way to rig this without involving soo many people. Which means it won't be secret enough to get away with.
