The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Looking for inspiration, I browsed through some old prototypes. Here's one that's absolutely exhausting to play.

When we're done with all of this, we should really get rid of:
- the two party system
- the presidency
- the US Senate
If we had a parlimentary, multi-party system, we could have elections in months to remove this clearly insane guy from office. Instead, we have to wait almost three years.

Fascism places emotion over reason. Words become just tools to achieve the vision of the Leader. In our post-truth world, this takes the special form of the inversion of meaning: fascists call other people "fascists" and antisemites call other people "antisemites"

The line graph shows the change in the S&P 500 index during the first 250 days since the inauguration of various U.S. presidents. Different colored lines represent each president's term: George W. Bush (2nd term) in red, Barack Obama (1st term) in blue and (2nd term) in green, Donald Trump (1st term) in purple and (2nd term) in brown, and Joe Biden in orange. The y-axis represents the change in the S&P 500, while the x-axis shows days since inauguration. Joe Biden's term shows the most significant increase, while Donald Trump's 2nd term experienced a sharp decline early on.
Things are going great.

Vi må støtte norske redaktørstyrte medier, ikke Google, Amazon, Meta og andre amerikanske selskaper som kun tenker profitt og ikke samfunnsansvar. Godt fra Hans Petter Nygård Hansen:
