Why can't Russia fight against Ukraine's Mad Max vehicles?
What does it take to defeat a world power?Throughout the year, social media has been flooded with home footage depicting the Ukrainian army repurposing salvaged weaponry from defeated Russian soldiers, old Soviet remnants, and even deserted civilian houses, and using it to fend off its adversary. This has traditionally been a technique used by underdogs in conflict, but Ukraine has taken it to a whole new dimension. 🚙🗺⚒

Why is Russia's sole aircraft carrier a complete embarrassment among other navies?
Aircraft Carriers are possibly the most accurate indication of a country's military capability at sea. They are both awe-inspiring and terrifying, making them ideal not just for projecting strength but also for serving as a symbol for an entire fleet. With so many advantages, what makes a nation like Russia, whose army relies heavily on displays of power, only possess one? When compared to the ultra sophisticated Ford class carriers that the US is putting out to sea, the Admiral Kuznetsov, Russia's sole carrier, looks more like a heaping pile of old Soviet period hardware. So, why is Russia not producing new aircraft carriers?

Radical Plan: Make Congress Actually Vote!
» KEY POINTS Many Amendments to the Constitution are needed in order to force bills to be discussed and voted upon in a timely manner. The leaders of each chamber must have their power to control the legislative process severely curtailed so that minority voices can be heard. Legislation must be clean and single clause in order to avoid pork and allow each element to be reviewed and approved on its own. All Congresspeople must vote and cannot avoid their duty to do so.

Alaska Should Have 19 Senators
» KEY POINTS In order to balance power in the Senate, each State and Territory should receive a set of Senators in relation to their population and another set in relation to the amount of land they control. The Senate should increase in membership while the House of Representatives should shrink. All members of Congress should be elected on 4-year cycles that expire in the middle of Presidential terms, resulting in country-wide federal elections every 2 years.

How We Can Have Actual Representation in Government
» KEY POINTS The House of Representatives should be elected directly by the people through proportional voting for Political Parties. The Federal Government needs to get out of the business of defining what is a Political Party in order to break the Democrat/Republican oligopoly. 4.4 million people living in the Territories should have just as many rights to representation as those living in States.

Yes, Congress Really is a Bunch of Old, Rich, White, Christian, Hetero, Misaligned Men
» KEY POINTS Congress does not reflect the American people in the most fundamental and even superficial ways. Political alignment, gender/sexuality, race, religion, age, earnings, net worth, and education of Congresspeople do not even come close to the electorate. There is no amount of law, policy, redistricting, quota filling, or any other method that can change the current situation.
