    George Carlin had a good idea. Put all murderers in one state that borders one with all the racists, which borders one with all the pedos, and so on, then once a year open the borders to each other and let it play out. Not exactly what he says but still… He was on to something.

    I’m summarizing this horribly but you get the point I hope. He’s much funnier than myself.

      George Carlin was a great comedian for his ability to reframe humanity’s problems, but imo he did not have a mind for good solutions.

        He was a great comedian but his “I don’t vote” shtick really fucked this country over. Moderate, reasonable, people stayed home, thinking ‘it doesn’t matter’, and conservative dickheads took over at the polls. 1996

        Ok what about giving everyone suction cup shooters, and if your car has too many suction cups on it you get a ticket.

          Right so this policy stokes and utilizes malice, discrimination, and tribalism in order to have the net result of providing funding to the police.

          If a person has a lot of suction cups and free time or a lot of friends then they can just harass somebody for no reason. It would have next to no impact on the rich who live in gated communities with cars locked up in garages, and private enclosed and/or secured parking at businesses.

          Cool thought, bad in practice.
