    How much mega corporations and the government give a fuck about people is becoming visceral these days.

    Hard to tell from the article how likely this is to happen. Their legal situation is very complicated and it sounds like they are still trying to figure out what can and cannot be done.

      Because any public attempt of resistance is going to be met with violence. Our government has stated they plan to conduct drone warfare on us. Don’t get me wrong, personally I know what happens when there’s no resistance (they’ll just kill you anyway) but for the majority it’s usually a combination of distance (this place is huge), poverty and not wanting to be canon fodder for something they likely had nothing to do with.

      It kind of looks like their politicians don’t give a crap what the little people think. Likely money involved, I’d wager.

      We don’t have any actual representative democracy, due to all our extreme mobility. Cars have killed us. I’ve lived in so many of the U.S. States and it’s just crashingly laughingly suck.

        If the voting system trends towards two bad options which both get worse every year, how much does their vote reflect what they really want?
