Or, incentivize voting by increasing the likelihood that quality humans can win elections, while also not enabling the worst possible outcome when voting for the best possible candidate.

No heroes, just principles.
Idealistic principles because why settle for less.

But also then their share price collapses because so does the economy. It’s stupid and if ever there was an industry that would benefit from nationalization, IT IS natural resource derived energy

It’s funny because before the tea party transmogrified into maga by absorbing the actual lowest common denominator, many of them also believed this. Now… they’ll kill the subsidies that help gain traction because…who knows

Answers? “Demanding answers” presumes there ARE answers which will satisfy you and your colleagues, who were deliberately kept in the dark regarding this escalatory attack. Perhaps demanding accountability would be more appropriate.
