The bigger issue is our complete unwillingness as a country to fix issues. We have zero interest in reforming old laws, combining them, deleting them, reducing the number of rules.
When you have a lot of rules, systems start behaving erratically as they represent overfit systems of equations. The solution is fewer, but better rules. (see the curve on the right, which has the most constraints, does the worst job at capturing the intended shape)

When instead of doing this, your incoming politicians only focus on what is easy to do, you wind up with breakage. For example if everyone had the same rules regarding whether they could strike, that would represent a simplification.

There’s this whole slew of Americans who want ranked choice voting and just can’t articulate or perhaps even fathom that that’s what they want.
I don’t know if you have been paying attention but nothing you do or say will leave the Republicans with a good memory of you no matter what if you are “woke,” so it almost doesn’t matter what you say.

The good news is that ladybird is nowhere even close to implementing the full web. It’s maybe 0.5% there. There’s no danger of it becoming some centralized power at least in the next 5 years. Especially barring any license shenanigans.
As for Lynx, well it’s really hard to take that comment seriously.


He’s paid by Russia now so he gets to say pretty much whatever about Israel.
It’s being Republican that’s the problem, not being conservative. Liberalism is quite conservative.
