If that isn’t the perfect metaphor for what Trump’s done to this government, I don’t know what is.

It should be a lot higher, honestly. Encourage building Canadian services and using European services instead of relying on predatory American monopolies.

This doesn’t even make the top-10 list of evil shit Chiquita has done. Some examples:

Ya, they absolutely could/should. A good example today is how a judge is present in a trial to explain the process, law, what’s required for jurors. You could have a similar advisory body which provides recommendations based on their expertise.

Athens had sortition, which was interesting. Everyone participated in the government via a lottery and the average person’s issues would be likely (statistically speaking) to be focused on and addressed.

We still use it today to select jurors. But it was originally for everything. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition

It’s been tried a few other times much later in history, but they always limited who could be chosen in the lottery (generally, only rich people). The original system which worked well selected among everyone.

Downvoting.

We can surely find a better source than Fox News, which has admitted in court that it knowingly lies to its viewers.
