There was nothing wrong with the halogen and I'll die on that hill. Ever since they abandoned it, it's been an arms race, and the aftermarket drop-ins are the worst offenders. I've resigned myself to never seeing anything on the highway shoulder because of the intensity of oncoming traffic's headlights.

It doesn't help that they have the emotional maturity of toddlers

Better yet, don't connect cars to the internet. Why does everyone care so much about a shitty tablet in the middle of the dash? I am so much happier to not have it.

Well you're replying to me, so I'll take a crack at it. The whole purpose of the federal government is to represent the states, and the intention of the electoral colleges is to balance their interests. If the national popular vote was the only thing that mattered, there would be almost no reason for candidates to care about policy issues that uniquely affect states with smaller populations like Alaska.

Good thing the number for California is not correct...

Your math for California is off by a factor of ten. California's per-capita electoral votes would be 0.00000141025

There's a minimum representation of votes (3) for statehood. In Alaska's case there are a large number of natives who are directly affected by policy at the federal level. The state is also very important strategically for defense and energy production.

California electoral votes: 55

Alaska electoral votes: 3

That's actually like $600,000 per person

Ireland isn't in Europe? You're about as well informed geographically as you are economically 😂
