Make them pay for it. I know when Colorado received absurd requests for information via the CO Open Records Act they reserved the right to bill the requestor for time and effort for larger requests. It’s a fair way to keep public servants from being bogged down by exactly this kind of politics.

It’s always the people doing the least saying this. My man runs a record label, raises a family, writes his own music, grows a garden and still has time to get wrecked in Roblox by his kids! #RespectTheGrind

An epithet worthy of an epitaph!

We really need a more robust verification system to protect our voting rights as the fulcrum of our democracy. Something as simple as vote confirmation for every citizen would go a long way. Do you know if your vote was counted correctly? I can only confirm it was received, but not counted.

I am still suspicious the American people actually did elect Donald Trump. There are statistically significant anomalies in at least one study on voting patterns in Nevada that warrant further investigation, both to replicate findings from NV and search for similar trends in other states.

I read you were making improvements to the show and I have a request.
Can we give Debbie a proper goodbye like others get later in the series?
It's the only thing that I felt was a true missed opportunity.

I cannot help but think the majority of our modern social problems can be solved through education, perhaps not immediately but certainly generationally.
Teaching people to discern between a valid and invalid source of information is becoming crucial knowledge to be imparted on the citizenry.

There is mounting evidence of anomalous voting trends beyond literally every district going redder, which should have been suspicious enough on its own, that this election was stolen from the American people.

Pooling of resources is an inherent part of increased complexity and growth of a given society, your concern over the logistics of how those resources are produced and distributed is not an invalidation of the historical trend towards larger and more complex groups working together.

Humanity throughout its history evolved into larger more complex groups cooperating for the same goals. This is not a new thing and literally the only way we have progressed as a species.
