If ecosystems naturally have a revolving-door quality, a slowdown suggests the door is jammed. The most likely reason is environmental degradation and shrinking regional species pools.
In a healthy system other species move in. But w habitat loss you end up w fewer candidates to replace whatβs lost

Peter Thiel's Palantir sells an AI-based data platform that allows its users-military and law enforcement agencies-to identify and surveil individuals.
Musk, Gates, Bezos, Murdoch and Thiel are the Bond Villains we were warned about three decades ago

"This is beyond unprecedented and unimaginable I canβt think of any president in modern history who had an international business that could even get [him] into this type of predicament.β said Kedric Payne, general counsel and senior director of ethics at the Campaign Legal Center.
ICE's budget could fund the ACA (healthcare) extension and expand Medicaid to millions. Instead, it funds home invasions, family separation, and killing protesters. Republicans made this choice for you. Remember in November... #FundHealthcareOverICE

And that's the point.
Mandatory voting means the end of successful gerrymandering.
Mandatory voting gives everyone a voice.
"Republicans have set things up such that it is nearly impossible for everything to go the way it was intended, and instead the process of selecting a President is almost guaranteed to be successfully corrupted in favour of the Republican party."

And how is it possible that an entire political party who used to promote themselves as "fiscally conservative" is doing nothing to stop this madness?
