That’s reasonable. The voters bear some responsibility, but it needs to be acknowledged that the system is set up so they have as little power as possible while maintaining the illusion of democracy.

Why don’t presidents fight the wars?

Why do they always send the poor?

“Don’t complain about your leaders. It’s your fault.” Is not the convincing argument you think it is.

Unfortunately I can’t help with the acceleration. Can’t cancel a subscription that never started

“but I don’t like bean soup”

Bilbo doesn’t have that warmth in The Hobbit book. That’s something he acquired with age.

I hope they’re given more chance to evacuate than they gave the Palestinians.

My guess is someone doesn’t like that Halfling get to reroll 1s.

In what world is a surgeon blue-collar? Certainly not this one.
