    Tested with a US VPN. Can confirm it only happens when using a US breakout. You guys are in much more trouble than even the most pessimistic among you are able to grasp at this point.

      I think you underestimate how pessimistic many of us are. People I talk to in stores or at work are grim.

      Most humans don’t take drastic action until they or someone sufficiently close to them is directly hurt. We can think of this as a moral failing or we can acknowledge that it’s a witnessable fact about our species and do our best to plan around it.

      The political system laid out by the constitution was supposed to prevent us getting here. But it’s always been pretty shit, so no surprises that it failed to prevent this and is failing to stop it.
