      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!
