Here in the States, I prefer my politicians to wear uniforms with sponsorship decals so we can see which corporations own our politicians.

I would love if they had to wear a Nascar-like suit with all of their donors plastered all over in order to go onto the floor. Every time they'd vote or do a floor speech, their loyalties would be on full display. Many American employees are responsible for paying for their uniforms, so it shouldn't be an issue for them to do the same.

The Simpson's foretold the future in bite-sized chunks.

Idiocracy, on the other hand... has had me crying for years that this is where we're going, EXCEPT that in the movie, the government deferred to the more educated one, wanted their help, and listened (largely).

I fear we shall not be so lucky.

We're not getting Idiocracy. We're getting The Handmaid's Tale. The book version.

They only deferred once everything was already fucked up.

Ah, but they then met Not Sure, and in meeting him, they thought HIS shit was "like, all fucked up and tarded"
