Homes, medical treatment, and financial stability are all a lot more expensive than bougie consumer products.

And while the average american can usually figure out how evil the oligarchy is, thinking through solutions and actions is a much bigger ask for the average american.

I've played enough KSP to know that's a good location to crash.

You said intentional.

I'll grant you that I could have phrased it more clearly, but I was speaking about the 2A for that section:

If that were the case you’d be right. But as of right now, this is the only check on their power. And it is an intentional check. The 2A was put in place to fight tyrants if it came to it, and it is quickly coming to it.

Perhaps, but if it’s ever used to support justice then it’s inevitable that it would also be used to undermine justice.

Yes, which is why it cannot simply be labeled corruption in all cases. It's dependent on the case it's used in. It can be used to free somebody from stealing food for their star ijg family, it can be used to let lynchers get away with their horrid actions, and everything in-between.

Why bother having laws if you can simply convene a jury of citizens to determine an appropriate punishment?

Because the majority of the time it isn't applicable, or used. It's an edge case.

I said inherent, not intentional.

And it's not inherently corrupt. It can be used as a check against immoral law, or it can be used to refuse justice to just law. It's entirely based on the case it's used in.

Mergers should be illegal.

Once against proving we have a two tiered justice system.

IIRC the problem there is that it potentially makes you liable to be sued by the company for disclosing negative/private information. But they can't exactly hold you liable if you're dead, so if you're dead you may as well speak what you know from beyond the grave.

The idea here is that you're directly pulling from the panels as first priority to take a chunk off your utility bill. The energy it provides never needs stored, and it makes the load lighter for transporting green energy from elsewhere.

Absolutely. I was gonna edit my comment to include that but you beat me to the punch.
