    A national reform of voting methods to kill FPTP. Making all forms of political bribery illegal. Making illegal all forms of judicial bribery. Paying civil servants a competitive salary so that people don’t just make fun of government jobs and actually view it as competent. Making illegal all forms of anticompetition, including stipulations that prevent the government from negotiating on prices, and instead require it to do so. Rehiring Lina Khan.

    I don’t know. The list is long. It won’t happen though. If it were going to happen, it would have already started to.

    If there’s a silver lining to all of this, it’s that we certainly aren’t going back to the status quo once this shitstorm blows over.

    The giant asterisk on that is Improvement Not Guaranteed™. And I don’t see how this happens peacefully.

      We are at 1930’s Germany. The shitstorm will probably continue for another 15 years and only get worse.
