I think that the majority of voters will look past what happened to the rail workers. It’s not a labour issue many understand or hear about.

FPTP needs to be stopped. The court needs to get its head out of its rear end and actually call this method of voting antiquated and no longer appropriate.

Interesting that Point Break (1991) and The Matrix (1999) book ended the decade. Point Break focuses on white 20 something kids that dropped out and started surfing, the The Matrix focuses on a 30ish white guy going through an existential crisis. At the beginning of the 90s there was still some hope, that a person could find a small counter-culture and create if not a wealthy life, of something satisfying. By 1999 all hope was gone.

I looked it up, Six Degrees of Separation was inspired from a real incident in the early 1980s. I was wondering why it felt like something from a decade earlier.

Wayne’s World was trying to recapture Mike Myers’ childhood in the 70s and early 80s. So doesn’t capture spirit of the 90s.

Biodome

Sadly this might be the most 90s of 90s movie. Others like Terminator are sequels, or movies like You’ve Got Mail are scripts written 10 years prior. Biodome is a time capsule of mid 1990s.

That’s the point.

Felt like it was from the 70s.

That was a throw back to the 1980s Brat Pack, so you can group in the late 80s.

Along with Falling Down, watch Boyz n the Hood https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101507/ and Juice https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104573/

All really the same story of the grungy 1990s.

Falling Down captures the downturn in the economy of the 1990s and the grunge of it.

You’ve Got Mail almost feels like a 1980s movie.

Point Break or Speed

‘deprogram’…‘barred from having contact with their protective parent’.

This will be decades of lawsuits and millions of dollars.

On the bright side, more people using VPNs.

Sounds like decades of a failed First-Past-The-Post system the keeps giving majorities to parties that can’t close to 50% of the popular vote. We’ve known for a century that such a voting system isn’t fair. A simple option is ranked ballot, were you rank that candidates, and if no one gets over 50% the least favourite is dropped, and the vote is re-counted.
We don’t live in a Democracy, we live in something that is less than a Democracy.

rich

It’s not about the rich. No one cares, except for a small handful of people. The vast majority of people want to fly away on vacation, own a large home, have a crappy grass lawn, eat meat everyday. They see environmentalism as some sort of odd lifestyle. If you make a law that says they can’t use gas lawn mowers, they’ll scream and go bat shit insane, call you the devil. They are relentless in wanting to pave over anything living.

The irony of not being able to spiral downward, when spiraling downward.

Promote Frisbee golf? That way you don’t need to cut grasses.
