Minor system modification that would life-changingly benefit >90% of the population, for this generation and the next, while leaving the other 10% relatively unaffected, blocked with no support after decades of waiting: “Absolutely not, this is an unprecedented proposal, fuck you for even considering it”
Major system modification that uproots all precedent, completely changes all the existing procedures, massively benefits two people while fucking over everyone else, passed with unopposed unanimous support three weeks after submission: “Look, someone was gonna push the ‘Fuck You’ button eventually anyway, might as well do it now”

Most bills are insane enough even without history tracking
Don’t you dare lump me in with those sacks of crap

Oh shit, just an outline on concrete now.
Ah yes, Lemmy, beloved by politicians. /s
Lmao, good point! :p

First step to solving a problem is recognizing it exists, shitlib.
It is in fact possible to want change and make things better, and not just hold on to the good things and class position you already have while being so terrified of positive change you cause a global fasch cascade to keep the damn commies away.
I’ve never been so insulted. Even if it is accurate.
