I’ve got to know too. Maybe the sovereign citizen thinks the court has authority because the US flag has no naval fringe so he’s gonna rip it up

Gonna go out on a limb here and say this is not actually a real problem. Humanity can thrive with fewer than 9 billion people. Keeping the total count high is not actually important, it is just a symptom of MBA brain “number big good” and the thinking of imperialist nations that need meat for the grinder. Fuck both of those. Let people live and if they want kids then great. Maybe if the earth didn’t seem to be bursting at the seams with people then women would want to have more children. But right now it is fucking crowded and we’re in the midst of a mass extinction event that may cause incredible turmoil on our otherwise stable ecosystems.

I can’t find anything about this on xitter or bluesky. Usually these kinds of events have more people talking about them.

Yeah, term limits are necessary. But I was thinking more along the lines of at-large legislators instead of tying them to districts, finding ways to encourage experts in various fields to join congress instead of it devolving into nothing but lawyers and real estate owners, anti-corruption language with enough teeth to scare away the riff-raff, mandating that literally all communications (verbal and written) of elected officials are recorded and public record no more than 30 days after the fact, etc etc.

It’d have to be one hell of an amendment in that case.

Well I’m a nobody without the background to do this better. My intent here is just to gather people who can do it well. I want to approach it in a way where those experts could work it out and compile a document that could supersede the current constitution while addressing the major issues that it couldn’t conceive of since it is nearly 250 years old. As it is I’m still having trouble getting a lawyer that is able to work on a 501 © 4 political advocacy organization since it is such a small niche that very few attorneys are experienced in it.

Yes I’m aware of the process. But I don’t exactly trust those in power to write one that actually protects individual citizens right now - the vast majority of the political class is only in it for themselves. They’ll happily reintroduce slavery if a billionaire offers them enough money to vote for it.

So I think the better approach is to have the fixes written first - then advocate for it to receptive legislators while marketting it to the American public as a solution that addresses their actual problems. Several amendments were passed by states passing a law where they waited for consensus of 38 states.

Hence why I think a change limited to an amendment may no longer be enough

That’s true. I was originally trying to make that 501©4 to push for an amendment that would be anti-corruption with teeth to clean out the riffraff in congress the millionaire factory.

Well the impeachment process is totally unworkable. And there aren’t real consequences for elected officials who abuse their office. An amendment could potentially address those issues. That was originally what I was contacting attorneys for - advocating for a 28th amendment.

Yeah the practical side is hairy for sure.

I tried hiring an attorney to create a 501 © 4 political advocacy organization but after calling 20 different attorneys in different states, I got zero bites when I was saying “Take my money!”. It’s apparently a very niche area of law and lawyers all specialize and won’t do anything in areas they don’t have experience. The only one that really seemed like they specialized in political advocacy groups was clearly a super right-wing bullshit group and they didn’t respond to my inquiries.

Yeah my previous state is so far gone that it is beyond salvage in my lifetime. I tried but it’s not something an individual like myself could change. So we gave up and moved to greener pastures where the state functions well. MN has amazing metrics - they’re ranked in the top 5 for just about everything except public land. It’s great up here. Or at least it was until this last week…

1. Trump rails against _____
2. Stock price goes down
3. Buy that stock
4. Trump renegs
5. Stock price goes up
6. Profit

Uhg. We left a red state and moved here to avoid the political shit. Guess we get to witness ground zero of the next American civil war.

No, it’s just a really commonly encountered curve for growth within a constrained environment. Fitting the curve could only predict where it is going with a probabilistic model anyways - it can’t predict the future.

I don’t make the rules. You don’t want to piss off the game wardens.

Just FYI to any Predators reading this, I am selling hunting leases in the USA. No limit on GOP over 200 lbs.

I love that patent. Whoever made it was really trolling.

PSA: Michael Dell is a super shitty GOP megadonor. Don’t buy his shit.
