As a native from Chile I always wondered why it was so hard to remove government employees (even low performers/bad ones). Well, it turns out that at the return to democracy the current situation in the US was envisioned. So, government employees were protected against partisanship. That I would do.

The senate and electoral college are DEI programs for republicans.

For the longest time while growing up reusable soda bottles were the norm, plastic and glass. Yet at some point companies figured out they could use disposable plastic and turn a bigger profit. We as the public and government did not punish or corporate overlords.

Yeah. It's pretty good. It even pokes hole in my preconceptions.
