Also authoritarians can’t stand any challenge to their absolute authority.

It’s one way to get universal healthcare I suppose.

Sure but we would have to be in control of the government to do that.

Filibuster ends. Trump adds 7 new justices to the Supreme Court. The next democratic president adds 14 justices to offset Republican picks. The next Republican president adds 28 new justices and on and on…

Within 40 years the entire population of the United States is on the Supreme Court.

I work at a highrise full of old rich people and my side gig is googling solutions to their tech problems. Things like unzooming their iPad, turning the child lock off on their dishwasher, or telling them their power strip is plugged into itself.

A lot of people are saying immortality, but keep in mind that doesn’t necessarily include being unaging or invincible. You could age into a decrepit mummy or break your spine and live your life as a paraplegic.

Get some AI to cross reference real name social media like Facebook with genealogy apps like Ancestry and you could make a citizenship facial scan app. There would be a lot of false positives, but as long as it’s non-white people, this administration doesn’t care.

He doesn’t have to run. He can just declare an emergency and cancel the election.

That depends on the definition of comfortably and happy. Everyone probably couldn’t live at the level of an upper middle class American, for example.

The trick with that is there needs to be significant financial backing to keep people fed even during a short strike.
