I've been sitting here in front of my keyboard for a while thinking of a nice way to say it, but I just can't come up with anything. So I'll just state the plain and obvious seen from a European (Danish) perspective:

America is moving fast towards some sort of fascism, and noone seems to be doing anything about it. So if you are American this is the time for you to rise up and show the rest of the world that there is another America. If you don't noone else will, and things will only get worse.

I'll leave you with a few quotes to get you started on your journey back towards a functional democracy:

"A little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical" - Thomas Jefferson

"You can always count on Americans to do the right thing—after they've tried everything else" - Winston Churchill

Elizabeth Willing Powel: "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" to Which Benjamin Franklin replied: “A republic, if you can keep it.”

Godspeed. I wish you the very best as a country.

a direct quote from the article you linked :

"The United Nations, the European Commission and major international aid organizations have said they have no evidence that Hamas has systematically stolen their aid, and the Israeli government has not provided proof.

hey, thanks for remembering the oldtimers!!

I check in often, but don't comment much anymore.

my guess would be that it's because you have to sign up to read the article.

since you have to be alone in the voting booth and your vote is anonymous it can't be bought.

You can say that you voted for X, but vote for Y and noone will ever be able to tell.

I'm till flabbergasted that noone stole it, it worked so well.

Only a flashy page with absolutely no explanation of how or what they do, how effective it is, what it costs, whether they have an actual product etc. etc.

What I see is a webpage that could be made by anyone in a few hours.

Ironic that you write this comment on hacker news

The people are the vlue

buying and selling of drugs/weapons/child pornography

Yes, I'm aware of the fact that the ledger is public, but not everyone is.

Or as Warren Buffet says, "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent"

This is the most stupid thing I've ever seen.

I love it!!

No. According to international maritime law ships propelled by engines give way to ships under sail. There are no specific rules for sizes, so theoretically if a triple E class Maersk containership catches up to your dinghy powered by a 5 hp outboard it has to give way (because it approaches from behind).
