This is why literary analysis created death of the author.

Buying massive amounts of primetime commercial time to sell useless products by screaming their name over and over in the ad.

I was off for 6 weeks and it didn't happen. I've got endless productive things to do at home before work ever becomes a consideration.

A bit is specific, but you can probably adapt them.

1. Bring back pork spending, it's over all cheaper to spend 100 million on some garbage than beating people into submission to pass something.
2. Increase number of representatives significantly, makes some things less efficient, but also massively reduces the power of lobbying, and increases the power of localized activism.
3. Limit length of allowed legislation per vote. Smaller more focused bills are ultimately better than sweeping legislation that attempts to address everything. More votes also makes working together easier with lower stakes and more opportunities to collaborate.

It's a less used option. Most realtors have fill in the blank contracts that are generally ok. Real estate lawyers tend to be more expensive up front as you are likely paying 300+/hr to write up a contract. A realtor ultimately takes more, but it's buried in the shuffle of buying a house.

Not going into debt is almost always the right choice though. Especially for cars. It's not about driving a $500 car forever, 6 months of average car payments saved and a $500 car can become a $2500 car, six months to a year later it can be a $4500-$7000 car.

Ramsey himself is pretty good at explaining edge cases, more so than his other personalities. He's generally applying the same ideas used in rescue scenarios to money, putting yourself at risk generally isn't worth it and just means more people need help now.

It's also standard operating procedure for Congress/government. Highway funds were tied to making the drinking age 21. Obamacare tied medicaid funds to expanding it's coverage. Medicare routinely decreases reimbursement and adds programs that are required for providers to get paid at around previous rates.

Lack of communication is a problem, but there's also really good justification for there being a lack of communication. Even if the elves did explain things, they have caused enough problems to make humans legitimately wary of anything they say in the first place.

Even in the fascist utopia of Watchmen with masked cops, they still required permission to access a firearm. US police are more insane than dystopian fiction.

Companies aren't innovative. Once they land on a formula they just keep using it. Eventually it gets stale and the company crashes or buys another company that had a good idea and runs it into the ground. Innovative games happen when a AAA company happens to acquire an indie studio at the right time to give them runway to properly polish their game.

How many times can you be disciplined without getting fired? Also what warrants a 20 day suspension, I betting someone died.
