That is the fastest way to turn a blue state red.

Split the vote so that the minority Republican vote can win. Because there are more registered Republicans in California than in Texas.

No, the actual answer is to change the voting system to a Cardinal system, so that there are no such things as Spoiler party's or split votes.

Approval or STAR are the answer. Either would enable third parties to exist and thrive.

As a note RCV is not a Cardinal system, and still has the Spoiler Effect. People lie about it saying it's the fix for all problems, but it's actually worse than what we have (there are parts that are better, but more parts that are far worse)

More of a global depression after these yahoos purposefully crash the economy.

The plan is to repeal it first, and then figure out what to do from there.

Probably whatever makes the most money for insurance companies.

Except, even then, an average coal plant will release more radioactive material over its lifetime than Fukushima did.

It's just Chernobyl that you have to top. And even then there are coal plants that come close.

Now, it's not apples to apples. Coal plants release uranium and thorium. Not ceasium and strontium.

But yeah, never go swimming in a coal plant ash pit. For more than the obvious reasons.

Adding more radiation to tobacco. Sure.

But slightly serious here. The actual mechanism of about 75% of tobacco related cancer, is the fact that tobacco leaves bioaccumulate natural radioactive elements from the soil.

If you smoke, you have radioactive lead and polonium in your lungs.

Molten salt?

We can then use compressed CO2 in the place of steam to drive the turbine.

Is blue sky federated? I thought it was another closed garden. If slightly more open than Twitter.

Ethanol is incredibly inefficient as a fuel source.

If not for the massive subsidies it would not exist.

Still, ethanol is a better fuel additive than lead. (Both reduce knocking)

Still, the far better use is to grow food.

Mindustry is much closer to the tower defense side of it.

Or maybe the RTS side.

There are even attack modes, where you build up an army to take on a fixed emplacement of enemy units.

And egg prices will still go up.

Catastrophicly so.

I support that guy's Hitler killing policy. Just wish he implemented it in 1920 rather than in 1945.

If you think Hitler was loyal to Eva Braun, we've been reading vastly different books.

No, Hitler was just as much a sex pest as any other dictator, and was pretty bad before gaining power. Like targeting 14 year olds, and his 14 year old niece.

But he also had uncontrollable flatulence that could clear a ballroom. Which goes to show that while time travelers couldn't kill him, they certainly could fuck with him.
