    If someone is in a swing state? Sure, vote for whoever the Democrats put up. But I think it’s important to acknowledge that the Democrats are part of the problem here, not the solution. Do the Democrats want multiple parties and proper coalitions? They do not. They actively fight against those things. Anyone who blindly votes Democrat in any of the majority of states that are solidly red or blue is making the situation worse.







  • I think the article is fine. It’s just the reality that makes no sense. A bunch of social media celebrities agreed to join an esports league where the celebrities would manage the teams. People could buy a pass for each celebrity that would let them vote on team decisions and give them other benefits. The company selling the passes used blockchain authentication for them. They were also, separately, involved in NFTs. People saw blockchain and NFT and thought “wait a minute, the passes are NFTs? Aren’t NFTs a big scam? These passes are a scam!” Then the celebrities saw the outrage and said “What?! No one told me there would be crypto-blockchain-NFTs!” They then dropped out of the league and it was indefinitely postponed. Unless by “actual problem” you meant something that was meaningful in anyway to anyone not directly involved in this nonsense. In that case, no, there was none of that.


  • “Quality of Life” was a category on the survey, although it was only one of ten. Additionally, they were mostly asking the people who were benefitting the most from their society:

    a survey of over 17,000 people from 36 countries – including business leaders, middle-class or higher college-educated individuals and “nationally representative” citizens of each country

    So I imagine there were a lot of folks who disagreed with the final rankings, but their opinions were mostly considered irrelevant.
