HeavenlyPossum<p>The US constitution was drafted by a cabal of wealthy slavers and landed aristocrats who repeatedly announced “we hate democracy because poor people might vote to not be exploited by us anymore” and crafted a political system to ensure their perpetual class rule and people are really unsure how the US could have ended up in the situation it’s in now.</p>
myrmepropagandist<p>Venus is pretty big and has an atmosphere, really too much atmosphere. What about we tow Venus out from the sun a bit and let it cool down so we have another nice world? There is lots of room in the window of Earth's orbit. Wouldn't that be easier than trying to terraform Mars which is too small, too cold, and has no geology?</p><p>Why not have another viable planet that wasn't so hecking far away?</p><p>TOW VENUS NOW</p>
