In the same vein, better is not perfect. There are hundreds of things wrong with our political systems and no single thing will fix all of it. Getting paid more than could ever be reasonable does not stop these people from doing everything they can to get more so whether they get more money or less won’t change the corruption you’re taking about. That’s a separate problem with separate answers.

As opposed to the honest and pure politicians we have today…

Straight up, all state and federal politicians should be paid minimum wage by hour. The only way they get a raise is if everyone gets a raise.

Don’t know if it counts, but my suitcase record player has vacuum tubes. Still spins but it needs a needle.

Ahh so that’s Germany’s North Dakota, makes even more sense that it’s comparable to Wichita…

According to Wikipedia It’s the 18th largest city in Germany.

I did some research and my city is almost 1:1 with Bielefeld Germany.

Bielefeld has 4 tram lines, 140 busses on a network that covers most of the city and established bike lanes. Wichita has 40 busses, 13 set bus routes, and 3 bike lanes in the whole city. I’m “lucky” enough to live two blocks from the nearest bus stop, but that bus route doesn’t land anywhere near places I want to go. Great if you’re in rehab thigh I guess.

Best pet I ever had was a ball Python. She was the absolute cuddiest creature I’ve ever met. If she didn’t know your smell she wouldn’t budge from her current spot, but if she did she’d slide right up your arm and ride on your shoulders all day. Unless you have boobs, then it’s straight to the bra.

She never bit anyone in the years I knew her. She even had a preference for movies, if you played something scary she would hide but if you played kids movies she’d move to your lap.

I do not have tits, but I understand bra sizing and frequently have to advocate for women in my life to go get a proper sizing. I’m baffled by how women can wear a shitty bra for decades but know their measurements in every shingle companies arbitrary standards.
