Whether what happens in the US in the near term is of great concern to the wider world depends on what's actually going on in the US, and in the wider world. If America ever actually gets bent the whole of the earth will quiver. America is presently seriously considering getting bent and taking the ultimate pissed. The world has every reason to prepare and witness.

I've been avoiding posting because I have very little good to say. I'm trying to figure out what little ol' me and people like me might do about the negative slope I believe we're on, but I'm drawing nothing but blanks. But, I do try to avoid being debbie downer so I'm quiet. I'm beginning to think that's going to be my strategy on politics. I'm about to withdraw consent by walking away from a crap collection of institutions. Why participate in systems under the control of people who don't give a shit about my interests and concerns? The US, at least, is spiraling down. The quality of candidates has been in decline my entire adult life. The Parties just keep nominating toward their fringes with the exception of the shocking Trump supporter rebellion against the GOP establishment that tried so hard to give conservatives first JEB!, then Rubio, and finally begged their former base to accept Cruz in place of the horrible Orange meanie. Screw 'em. The GOPe is dead to me again. On the other hand I'm about ready to rejoin the conversation at least over in philosophy and religion....

Half of Holland does not wash hands after going to the bathroom.

Early in the year I noticed the water in public restrooms was far more often primed for quick hot water. The water now runs cold. Although, a joke from childhood... Two men in the bathroom and one is washing his hands as the other finishes up and heads for the door. The one washing says, "Where I grew up we were taught as children to wash hand after using the bathroom." The other guy says, "Where I grew up we figured out as children not to piss on our fingers."

I get that sort of idea, but I really have trouble figuring out where is the "form" of the thing begins and the particular thing ends.

govols comments on Nov 11, 2020:

The really short answer is that it's still utterly uncertain. The actual electors aren't decided until State's legislaures certify their each slate of electors through the results within each State. Then those electors meet in mid-December and vote. Then in early January a joint session of Congress witnesses the actual vote tally. Then, if 270, for both pres and VP, winners. If not, votes in House for pres, Senate for VP. Plus more shit. It's complicated.....

What is your personal metric to conclude that Biden won?

govols comments on Nov 10, 2020:

Pretty much the same, given the cluster fu@k of it all...the certified results from each jurisdiction, the votes of the legislatures where results might be demonstrated through the courts impossible to certify, the vote of the electoral college that those results impanel (hopefully) or the the House and the Senate results if it come to that. I'll conclude the winner once it's reported by the legislative branch of the general government.

I would sincerely like to understand this better...

govols comments on Nov 10, 2020:

Well, we'd need to see whether the percentage of voters this year that only cast ballots for president differs greatly from other years. Google that and try to find an answer. Where the district by district polls vary as greatly from the result as do the presidential polls v thus far reported results? Try to find that on Bing. Anomalies might be indicated given 50 results with only a small number of deviant results that aren't as apparent among 460 different races, each with differing sets of candidates rather than just the two (realistic options) under consideration with the presidency.

I write my opinions on here as a conservative.

govols comments on Nov 10, 2020:

A fact of civilization is that governments are a necessary evil, and governments require funding. The question is, funding from what form of taxation? The taxes WILL be levied and collected, but the basic question remains, what form of taxation? Should taxation be a stand alone system of revenue, of pitched in with the overall scheme of managing civilizational necessities? I see no good reason to tax personal income, in an integrated scheme for managing basic civilizational necessities. I CAN see taxing imported goods as a means of BOTH funding government and promoting domestic production of necessary private and public goods and services. It's crazy complicated, but there needs to be a rational integrated collection of policies if it's to be imposed at all.

Court cases will be heard, and it may very well be decided in many jurisdictions that while the election result is demonstrably unknowable given the level of irregularities, no reasonable remedy is available. If I were to give it a constitutional attempt, I'd toss it to the legislatures of the various unknowable States to appoint a slate of electors and see if an electoral college outcome might be available.
