Yeah, but he also brought Treebeard to Isengard, leading the ents to overthrow Saruman. Did that not make the list?

He did plenty. In the movie he lit the beacon to call Rohan. Fought in the battle for Minas Tirith, where he saved Gandalf's life. Saved Faramir's life. Saved Merry's life.

Sauron himself questioned Pippin and came away with the conclusion that he should apply his army and attention toward Minas Tirith and Gondor rather than continuing to look for the real ring-bearer right under his nose. Essentially made the entire gambit with Frodo possible.

This has been a pro-Pippin PSA

If you believe the virus came from the Wuhan center and that was covered up, how could you trust a scientist from there to truthfully make this report? They could have just omitted a match to SARS-CoV2 if they found one.

Probably this needed to be published but it seems like a lose-lose proposition for the researchers and I doubt it will give conspiracy theorists a pause.

Reduced from 40 to 36 hours is in the right direction, but it's still a 5 day work week.

If you would prefer a socialist party candidate the most logical choice is to pick whatever Democratic/Republican candidate is most willing to enact voting method reform, e.g. ranked choice voting.

Because voters are incentivized to pick one of two main parties in the current method, third parties are essentially guaranteed never to get off the ground.

Yeah and the senators who ratified women's right to vote were all elected by men but they still did the ethical thing.

At least Sanders seems to want to reduce billionaires' disproportionate influence on politics.

Maybe you're ok if Elon Musk's opinion on how much you should get taxed counts a billion times more than yours, but you really shouldn't be.

It is ironic, but if this was the case we would probably just see the Republican party shift to be more moderate and collect more votes. Not a bad thing IMO. Cultivating extremism is bad for democracy.

Upvoted for the honesty

Lol. How soon he'll sell it is directly proportional to how many ~~suckers~~ people he can convince he's going to keep it (and who thereby prop up the stock price for him).
