In the US, right-wing state governments reduce working people's life expectancy. But the mainstream media don't dare admit that one of the two political sides is better than the other.

Fixing vulnerabilities in the function of the electoral college is not enough: we need to replace it with popular vote.

The electoral college was designed when the United States was founded. People thought of themselves as citizens of the various states, and thought of the union as literally a federation of states. In terms of those concepts, the electoral college made sense as a way for states to choose the chief executive of their federation. But we no longer think of the US that way.

Please urge your state to sign up to the National Popular Vote.

Legal steps needed to block avenues for future presidential coup attempts in the US.

To have unrigged elections, we need also to prohibit gerrymandering and voter suppression. To have fair elections for president, we need to do away with the electoral college.

Proposing a system for acquiring property on celestial bodies and objects which avoids the bad outcome that the early space travelers claim everything.

My view of property rights is very different from an antisocialist's. People are not inherently entitled to own any kind of property, but a system of property rights can be beneficial on the margin for people in general. In normal circumstances, where no one is in penury, it is useful for individuals to own clothing, books, furniture, bicycles, food, and so on, and maybe even houses. I mean "useful" in the sense that in those circumstances the system of property rights benefits everyone. This presumes that overall economic system protects people from poverty, so that every individual gets to own a reasonable amount of those things.

However, property rights must not be absolute. If the system does push someone into poverty, "property rights" can't justify keeping that person in penury. If you need food to survive, you are entitled to "steal" some, with a few special exceptions such as taking the food some other penurious person was about to eat, or taking a farmer's seed corn.

That said, the temporary property rental system proposed in the article linked to could be a useful method to add to a system of non-absolute property.
