So while a nut job, his number one goal isn't to own the libs and shut down the gov. Small favors

I stopped following the musical chairs for my own mental health. Is that who was settled on?

If I know dolphins, if he ends up sleeping with them, they'll treat his body like he'd treat a couch

If a states count is contested, it's voted on by the house on if the count goes back to the state and redone. If the numbers aren't ratified by the deadline, the backup is the chain of succession until it is ratified. This means that the house speaker is acting president until they finalize the winner.

Good. Make sure they vote

Anyone who thought Trump was a competent businessman had not been actually paying attention.

Honestly, the numbers through the years have shown that when people show up to vote, the Dems win. That's literally all it takes. Everyone going to vote.

See, you'd think. But unfortunately, as an old song once put it: some of those who work forces are the same who burn crosses

Universal basic income, return to FDR era tax rates but factoring in current inflation and closing the loopholes, strong antitrust laws with teeth, tying c suite pay structure to a percentage over the lowest paid worker, and any bonus to top levels based on profit must be equally shared with everyone in the company.

Let's throw in any fines are calculated based on a person's income for good measure

You mean the three last remaining pieces of Ma Bell after the children mostly combined back together?

So, what Hari does is basically game theory on a massive scale. The larger the group, the less complexity because you're abstracting the different possible issues individuals would have out of the problem. Instead of making it more complex, it simplifies the whole thing because all the chaotic bits cancel each other out.

And slight spoiler warning for an old story but you find out later that the whole thing isn't just predicted ahead of time and let loose but a group of people follow along in the shadows to keep the plan on track.

At the time Hari tried to apply it at the small scale, it was impossible. I believe by the time Gaia takes over the science could be applied to the single organism but that also feels like cheating.

The whole point of prelude and forward was that his attempts to start on the smaller scale by going backwards in time was a fools errand and impossible but starting with the relatively small scale of just Trantor was doable as it had sufficient mass to apply the generalized mathematics towards. The variables on the smaller scales were too numerous but as you abstract towards larger bodies, it reduces the complexity to the point it becomes calculable.

Well, not the whole point but still
