Or, and here's a thought, any truly big surprising movements would be made without sending data to databases civilians can access

At what population level would you say it was okay for a national ballot hand count to take more than a day? Because a box designed to fit just the white land-owning men out of a population of 4 million can't indefinitely fit all over-18s in a population 90 times larger.

It's weird to be on a board where people claim overpopulation is a legit issue, hand counting is the only safe way to count ballots, but also it's wrong for ballot counting to go past your bedtime.

This, along with red lining and eminent domain, is why it's always silly to me when people try to claim that current China is not capitalist, and they bring up land ownership as a point.

Raising direct land ownership vs renting from the government as a distinction implies that one can truly own land in America. I mean, just look at the Dust Bowl. It may be less likely that your land will be taken away from you than in China, but it is never a zero percent possibility. If it's Been Decided that a new highway overpass will be built straight through your living room, well, that's what's going to happen. Yes, there will be multiple sparsely attended community meetings where "your voice will be heard", but you're still losing your land regardless.

And of course this is to say nothing of all that land that Constitutionally, cannot belong to the US and cannot be legally governed (due to Article 6), yet is daily.

So, the Fed dropping a cool trilly into the market to get immediately gobbled up by the biggest names back in March 2020 was a good thing? I love it when trillions of tax dollars just go straight into Wall Street. No handouts for the elite to see here, no siree

I think the trickle-down has started. I don't think that's liquid gold trickling down onto us tho...

Questions: Why is "printing" caps and red and weird? It didn't appear that way in other screenshots I've seen of the post. But the formatting looks like it's being done on the website side, not a post-hoc Photoshop

What's with the id 000000? Do all post on 8kun have that? Is that the trip, or is the hash to the left the trip?

Isn't this a sudden uptick in Q posts? When was the last Q drop before the Endless one?

Not sure why people are celebrating. This means Nov 22nd is now just one more day when Trump isn't unveiling the Dual Screen. More ho-hum chaos life.

Also, I mean, just imagine if after losing 2012, Obama made a speech riling up a crowd, that crowd marched to the Capitol and said they were going to murder people, during which time Obama stayed weirdly silent until it was clear proceedings would not be stopped. Say a Congressional committee was made to investigate what happened - would you really be celebrating Obama dodging the subpoena to answer questions about his role in a mob action that took lives? Do you really want there to be established precedent to allow a different D to pull this same trick sometime in the future?

Trump completely skipping the committee? That's bad television, and that's why y'all should be worried. When Trump makes decisions that make TV less interesting instead of more, something is up.

I guess people do want the ability to vote to be influenced by whether or not taking the time away will negatively impact your financials. I love when a vital part of democracy is more accessible to the wealthy and elite! Feels like winning.

I know plenty of people who voted for Biden. Not one liked him or wanted to but they did anyway. Never underestimate how strong the "lesser of two evils" myth is in Liberalia.

I still don't get it. What was missed? The gap was missed? Was someone trying to avoid the gap or hit the gap?

I've been told on this board a national holiday was excessive. One day can't last forever while keeping it a hand count though. An always growing population can't forever fit in the same sized box.

It's just a cross-brand promotion with a YouTuber, trying desperately to appeal to the youths, like that Discord server the Army has
