  • YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to determine election outcomes by changing electoral maps. In most western countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States

  • Poor people don't bribe the politicians making these decisions, so it's not in the best interest of the politicians.

  • Why should we tax billionaires?

  • If you earned $10,000 per hour, every hour of every day since the birth of little baby jebus, you still would not have as much money as Musk did at the start of this year BEFORE he got even more tax breaks and subsidies from the government.

  • How slow is the slowest theoretical large meteor encounter?

    Jump

  • I'm not a physicist by any means, but I would hypothesize that the slowest way would be to somehow get the object into a slowly decaying, nearly-geostationary orbit around Earth, closer than the Lagrange point between Earth and the Moon. Eventually its orbit will decay enough that it will just fall into our atmosphere somewhat "straight down", making it a matter of calculating the object's terminal velocity.

    I'll probably be wrong about many things here, but it'll be interesting to learn when someone corrects me.
