  Everyone should’ve chipped in with a dollar and you’d have your own country! /s

    But that’s socialism.

    I wonder if that’d work. Do a crowdfunding for certain legislation, and pay it out to whoever votes for it (with a bonus for whoever first proposes the legislation). Dystopian as fuck, but perhaps worth an experiment.

  That’s on par with the fundraising goal for my kid’s elementary school. About a dollar per person in the district.

  Totally different situation though, since these suckers at the school are going to spend it on a bunch of kids who haven’t even labored in the mines for it.

  Less. Our population is something like 330m now I think.
