Biden isn't a king. Postmaster General is elected by the Board of Governors, which Biden did replace a number of. Also no more than half of them can be from the same party, so gridlock is natural.

Are we sure it's AI? It looks like an old medical illustration for delivering twins entangled in the womb.

Roughly the same, but in the US the Libertarian Party is basically just conservatives who want to smoke weed.

So that's what that phrase means

You tell me, have you ever heard a liberal candidate suggest age of consent laws should be up to a vote?

I assumed that verb is "questioning".

Hence vacuous truth

I was once an edgy online 14 year old idealist, my behavior was identical.

Starting a business requires resources and coordination. It is easier for one individual with many resources to get the ball rolling than for many people with few resources to do the same. Even if you need to take out a loan, it's simpler to do as an individual than as a group. Most people who front all the resources for a business are going to want creative control over the structure and operation, and consequentially claim to the profit. It's much easier, logistically, for one person to roll existing capital into a new business than to coordinate a board of founders. Democracies are much slower at making decisions than dictatorships, obviously.

I am 100% pro co-op. I'd love to see credit unions offering start-up loans to groups of founding members, specifically designed to develop co-ops. It's just currently uncommon, so the infrastructure isn't there. Without that financial infrastructure, you're relying in everyone fronting a portion of the start-up funding.

So, in short: it's more complicated, financially and logistically. I'm all for it, but before we see co-ops carve out a more significant market share, we'll need to see some chipping away at these barriers to entry.

Assembling the right mix of mechanics to perfectly match your setting/character concept is a whole game in itself. Sometimes I'll just build a character for the fun of it.
