I agree it feels very slow, but identifying the correct action and then building consensus around that action takes time. Once consensus is built it is very stable though. That is supposed to be the biggest benefit of democracy; stability built through coalition.
I’m loving this saga. Better love story than Twilight.
Thank you for the write up. That distinction makes a lot of sense.
Ahh fantastic point. There isn’t really an incentive for the individuals to maintain/perpetuate the institution.
I understand the sentiment. I’m wondering about the efficacy of the strategies to achieve those end goals.
I don’t agree with this. Shareholders extracting value from a company is arguably more of an ‘inefficency’ than treating employees fairly. Well treated employees provide a benefit to the company while shareholders purely remove resources.
I have no data to back up my claim, just logic, so I could very well be wrong.
That you very much for writing this up. It is super interesting, and I feel bad for dismissing her. Unfortunately, I will probably continue people whom are the vague they.
That’s an unpopular opinion??
The administration is completely different. The GOP had a lot more influence on the admin choices in 2016. MAGA is the party now and they get to appoint anyone they want. 2016 still had people who believed in democracy, the 2024 administration sees it as a hinderance.
Woah, first I’m hearing about this. How’s it work? What’s it called? How do you find a place?

My enemy’s enemy…
I think deep state here refers to unelected government officials.
Does he just come check in on you every so often?
This is going to sound stupid, but than you for pointing that out because him literally being a lumberjack went right over my head.
Should probably boost to bun_alert_system@lemmy.sdf.org.
Inflation’s back, baby!
Switzerland has it too, and while English isn’t the official language almost everyone speaks it.
It surprises me that bringing the server in house especially for emergency services isn’t a priority.
This was my first thought too. I guess clouds are scary to me now.
