      Then people will just take their checks through an LLC and be independent contractors. Or go into business for themselves. Or just revolt.

      The last one is the most worrisome.

          That’s partly why it’s so worrisome. 10 years ago, it would have meant something, but now it’s too late, and I fear now it will only negatively contribute to climate collapse and cause the genocide we hope to avoid.

          I think it might be too late to save the country and we all ought to get several state governments to secede… and if a civil war brews because of that, then it would at least have some semblance of a positive outcome.

      The government is made up of people we voted for. Want to check voter turn out rates for democrats? And for people under 40? Go check. Do it!
