That site promotes range voting, and rather superficially dismisses approval voting: "Why Range Voting is Better than Approval Voting": https://www.rangevoting.org/rangeVapp.html
We've got MMP here in New Zealand, which is a fantastic improvement over what we had. However the list vote does give politicians some weird power.
Tax the fuck out of people and do they stop working, or quiet-quit reduce hours/effort?
There are many highly paid essential jobs that society needs. Good luck finding a doctor. How long would transportation or infrastructure last without engineers?
Obviously wouldn't matter for deadwood or bullshit jobs: but we struggle to identify those. You might think Hollywood is unnecessary, but how much of your economy depends on foreign income from unnecessary shit?
No more startups - why bother if there's no reward.
Make Britain great again, by making the US suck!

You've got causality reversed. Society depends on businesses and workers.
I can't understand how anyone looks at complex systems and thinks "let's just fuck $X". Is it just ignorance?
A quick check showed it is estimated that Apple gets about 18% of it's profits from China but only maybe 7% from EU countries (ignore Apple's definition of Europe!).
Maybe China is easier to work with - perhaps their rules are made clearer?
China has 1.4 billion people and they are rapidly increasing their wealth. The only surprising factor is that Chinese cell phone producers haven't eaten up apple's marketshare yet.
Both New Zealand and Australia have about 30% of the population born overseas. Immigration does lead to some stresses but it also has bonuses. Immigration seems to clearly help in the short term.
But yes, immigration doesn't solve the demographics issue, because immigrant citizens also get old and expect government support.
Immigrants do often have good sized families so that brings in a fresh generation of New Zealanders. Plenty of my married friends are from mixed cultures.
In some cultures their children give more time to care for their own parents or elderly family. New Zealand born children seem less likely to do so.
The local born often whine because whinging is a significant part of our colonial heritage from England.

Comment moderation is voting too.
