You haven't addressed the grift problem. Without support for traditional nepotism/cronyism grift, how do you expect to motivate politicians?

You won't always be able to count on the threat of exposing their sexual habits, which has been working for decades.

>> You can’t give a TED Talk about a ramp.

>> You can’t get venture capital funding for a slightly wider doorframe.

>> Concrete is not "disruptive."

Well, not with that attitude.

1. A revenue subscription model

2. Execute at massive scale by leveraging AI

3. An advertising model

Now you can change the world

Legislation isn't for your personal benefit, silly. It's for the corporations.

Flooding the zone. They're getting you to waste your time and energy on this, so you don't see what they are really doing.

This is not a situation where good actors have different ideas on how to best administer the country.

These are criminals. They are committing crimes. You are the victim, not their peer.
