      I wouldn’t say it’s by design. It hasnt had any updates in quite awhile. It’s like a Commodore 64 trying to play Skyrim. When it was designed, the world was much different. We have not updated our government to catch up.

      Yeah I know. All the rules are written and being written by the already rich and powerful. Based on the world’s oldest national constitution still in use.

      Who would have thought that perpetually basing society on the opinions of a bunch of slave owning WASPs would lead to inequality ‽
