1876: "No support to any religion and no clergy in government"
1894: "PRAISE JEEEEEEEZUS"
There are two Americans inside of us
Two inside me would be a good night.
1955 one would have been amazing though
1876s amendments would have been based if passed
amen
sudo rm * -rf
1893 too...
While a million isn't insane money these days (1 in 10 Americans are millionaires) that was a lot of money in those days, and if you factor inflation it would be reasonable. That's about 12 million dollars in today's dollars.
I assumed it was more money then due to inflation. and having a wealth cap at 12 million is still good.
tf happened to the US when such concepts were in the Overton window?

Two Red Scares, plus Reagan and neoliberalism in the 80s.
A wealth cap of one billion would still be a huge win. (It would reduce musks fortune by 99.9%)
tbf, lots of those American millionaires are boomers who managed to get a 20k$ house which is now valued at over a million. if we were to fix housing crisis they would lose their fortune. which they count on for their retirement.
get universal healthcare and elder care and that would also fix it. old people retirement plans shouldn't be based on the homeless and poverty of everyone else.
1878: Triumvirates are a great idea and never go horribly wrong.
Not a triumvirate, just an executive composed of three peers. Won’t go terribly at all. IT IS FINE IF ONE STARTS CALLING HIMSELF FIRST CONSUL
We have 7 persons in the highest exective office in Switzerland. (Technically one of them is president of this comitte, but this mandate rotates each year, and its mostly for representing purposes like at visits or during a catadtrophe)
Dodged a bullet with 1912 and 1914.
Anyone know what book this is?
Casus belli would be a self-defense if it would be implemented.
90% of OPs content is anti communist slop, but this post PugJesus, this I can get behind
I'll take them all
I uh, note three particularly objectionable amendments in sequence.
Got to take the rough with the smooth!
