I thought this had been blocked like, just a few weeks ago?

Luckily they can just keep proposing it nonstop until everyone is burnt out from constantly fighting it while also working a day job.

When you base coordination on violent enforcement, tyranny is inevitable. You have a mechanism for crushing opposition aglnd silencing the population that is not just built in but essential, even definitional, to the functioning of the thing.

Even aside from all the absolute fucking pandoras box of moral hazards and perverse incentives this creates, just running it long enough will eventually cause this shit to accrue, like a windows install.

States are not a good solution.

The people need to fight it every time it pops up. It only needs a passing vote one time.

Now it's too late.

Well, your politicians have names and addresses. Ask them to fix this.

While they're sleeping.
