Shared rides is a step above on the pyramid.

From what I can tell it’s not really close. At least for “average cars” and “typical commercial airlines”.

I guess the 4th amendment is completely dead

It has been on life support for quite some time. It’s one of the least enforced amendments. Especially since 9/11 ramped up the nations paranoia from “boogey men”.

You’re telling me that 140 people driving from New York to California is more efficient than 140 people taking a single 737?

That fuck you mean? You can use these drives for any purpose you want.

air travel is an unmitigated disaster on the level of personal carbon footprints - there’s basically no way to make it sustainable

Compared to cars? Or just trains?

“ICE has considered returning Petitioner to the United States to the status quo that existed immediately prior to her removal, but respectfully declines to pursue this course of action,”

We thought about it, and decided not to. WTAF?

“We should fight for democracy” straight to “we should literally light politicians on fire who don’t sufficiently agree with us” is quite the take.

He can’t marry every woman…

Racial gerrymandering is now effectively constitutional so long as there’s a fig leaf of partisanship.

Which is why… I’m saying… We need a constitutional amendment… to make it illegal outright to gerrymander.

State law can’t violate the constitution.

There is nothing in the constitution directly disallowing extreme racial gerrymanders. Those are unlawful not because they’re unconditional, but because they’re prohibited by the voting rights act.

Which is backed by the US constitution and in particular the 14th amendment. The “Equal Protection Clause” of the 14th amendment in particular is frequently cited in challenges to racial gerrymandering.

That something isn’t likely to pass doesn’t mean you don’t try. There should be, and needs to be, a constant push. It’s so obviously corrupt to allow gerrymandering.

The solution is not more, it’s none.

No, it doesn’t. If it did then this law would be unconstitutional. You can’t “temporarily” violate the Constitution.

It took two constitutional amendments to make states allow black people and women to vote. There’s another banning poll taxes and the like.

Most US laws on voting rely on those amendments for support. That’s why it’s only illegal to gerrymander if it disenfranchises minorities.

They appear daunting, but the simple edits you’re talking about aren’t very difficult to do. I’ve used kdenlive for simple things and it’s pretty easy to learn. Your may just take a little Google for the first run through.
