I get what you're saying about being taken for granted, and being ignored by politicians isn't always a bad thing, but if you can't get the bare minimum things done right it still sounds like a bad situation. <br /><br />Thanks for you comment on the blog content - in general. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-66288883703142867182018-08-29T17:41:25.485-04:002018-08-29T17:41:25.485-04:00At least you've got a (lousy) choice between m...At least you've got a (lousy) choice between marginal candidates for various offices, and their associated political parties. Here in Califubar, we've got a single party state. Not much political mail arrives, since we're all taken for granted by our glorious majority party leaders. And we'll soon be free of governor Brown (Colonel Klink) and saddled with Gavin Newsome, former mayor of San Francisco (aka Gruesome, Noisome, Poopneedle, etc.). It may seem funny, but your situation seems downright refreshing compared to the sea of kooks running the roost around here. Sad watching the whole state turn into one giant Detroit, except for a tiny crust of corrupt elites on the coast. But what a place it once was!

It's amazing how well removing your name from the voter rolls - as well as saying what one REALLY thinks about the current government and their "Law Enforcement" and "Legal" system enablers - works to take care of that problem.Mark Matisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-56853368149718620552018-08-29T05:15:03.705-04:002018-08-29T05:15:03.705-04:00I've heard that the Democrat rising star, Ocas...I've heard that the Democrat rising star, Ocassio-Cortez, has endorsed Gillum as well.

People who bet they have predicted the wind better than everyone else and position themselves elsewhere sometimes win big, but often are wrong and lose.<br /><br />Political consultants aren't betting on individual candidates, they are betting on a constant stream of candidates who do well, but not necessarily always win, to make a career out of advising. It doesn't matter who gets elected, political consultants are part of the permanent bureaucracy and win regardless.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the voters always still obey whoever got elected. There is no feedback signal present to drive the governance system in any direction other than where it's currently going. If you want the control system to alter course, you have to generate an error signal.
