It's not 'we,' it's just your opinion, comrade. If the USA were actually run by people with views the same as yours, it'd be no different from Russia or China. But thankfully, there are still many who get that life is about collaboration and compromise, who don't live in fear nor have the dream of domination.

But I don't see how this is good news at all from a societal POV.

Think about all the lamplighters who lost their jobs. Streetlights just turn on now? Lamplighting used to be considered a stable job! And what about the ice cutters…

For real tho, it's not like there's nothing left to do — we still have potholes to fix, t-shirts to fold and illnesses to cure. Just the fact that many people continue to believe that wars are justified by resource scarcity shows we need technological progress.

// --- Solve Function ---

function solveCube() { if (isAnimating || scrambleSequence.length === 0) return;

  // Reverse the scramble sequence
  const solveSequence = scrambleSequence
    .slice()
    .reverse()
    .map((move) => {
      if (move.endsWith("'")) return move.slice(0, 1); // U' -> U
      if (move.endsWith("2")) return move; // U2 -> U2
      return move + "'"; // U -> U'
    });

  let promiseChain = Promise.resolve();
  solveSequence.forEach((move) => {
    promiseChain = promiseChain.then(() => applyMove(move));
  });

  // Clear scramble sequence and disable solve button after solving
  promiseChain.then(() => {
    scrambleSequence = []; // Cube is now solved (theoretically)
    solveBtn.disabled = true;
    console.log("Solve complete.");
  });
}

Concrete examples of topics for which I could use problem sets: computing angles in elementary geometry fractions solving linear equations combinatorics unit conversion
