Read the text here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/22/text/ih78 Every system that determines citizenship is based on a chain of trust. Once a citizen has proven they are a citizen once to get a document, that document should be proof of citizenship. However, the law is no longer written to recognize this. For starters, it is already a felony …

American Mutual Protection Pacts
The United States is the most defended country in the world, and not just because our military is the largest, but through our network of alliances we are protected by the militaries of all of our allies combined. We have mutual protection pacts with countries on every continent except Africa, and our alliances have overall …
Gas prices
Let’s think about the total impact on gas prices over the budget of the average household. You have an average income of around $55,000, so let’s be pessimistic and say you make $50,000 per year because the math is easier. You drive a car that gets around 30 miles per gallon, you live 10 miles …
A short history of Moldova
Maps are taken from https://www.oldmapsonline.org The Principality of Moldavia was the westernmost part of the Mongol Empire from 1241 to 1346. Events before then are not important for understanding how Moldova became an independent republic from Romania. Before then the region was occupied by Turkic peoples. After independence, the Principality of Moldavia was formed in …
More on visa policies
As we see here, GDP per capita is a major factor in determining the travel freedom of citizens of a given country. Citizens of countries that have a GDP per capita under $1000 generally have very limited options in terms of countries they can travel to visa-free. Citizens of wealthy countries with a GDP per …
Party Vote Trifectas
So I have a spreadsheet where I have recorded the partisan alignment of the federal government and how Americans have voted for the President, House, and Senate. This data is from Wikipedia. If you navigate to the Organized table this is as easy to understand as I’ve figured out how to make it so far. …
Gentrification and quality of life
Most cities in the world have areas which are more expensive and least expensive. Very few cities will be only for the rich (where do the restaurant employees live), and few big cities will have no rich people. There are of course small towns which have only poverty or only extremely rich people, but those …
Path to peace
World military expenditure is increasing along with global deaths due to armed conflict reaching its highest level since 1995 in 2022. This is due primarily to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine the deadliest armed conflict in the world. Interestingly, deaths due to armed conflict follow the rank-size rule, as we observe in cities. The Russian …
Well, it was worth it
Sure, Elon Musk is raiding the treasury and halting payments to contractors he doesn’t like, Trump has done more horrible things in the last few weeks for me to even process, but we have unity in a solid government trifecta. I do believe the issues that turned the election against Harris were based on foreign …
Reactionary politics
I know how to put it. I voted for Elizabeth Warren in 2020 because she was the only candidate who was not reactionary. Bernie is obviously reactionary with his form of anti-billionaire populism. Biden is no less reactionary by his stance being a nebulous “let’s all get along.” Warren actually stood for something independent of …
