  • One phone call doesn’t make a difference, just like one vote or one protester. But they will notice a flood of voicemails and letters if they care about re-election.

    I have been thinking about this… if they lobbyists pay a better severance package than the government, politicians won’t care about re-election. So, it is just a matter of how much. This is why we pay politicians so much salary… so they’ll want the job enough to work for their re-election and not need to take side money. And I think the lobbyists can’t afford to buy them outright because they’d have to cover all the future lobbyist money that the politician would have made if re-elected.

    As such, I like term limits, but I’m realizing that they create lame ducks. If we had a one-term limit for president, the sitting president would never be accountable to voters.

















  • Itll go over a different port depending on the vpn protocol (i recommend wireguard). So the isp will know it’s vpn gibberish, but there are ways to tunnel the ciphertext through https again (like wstunnel). A bit overkill for your setup but comes in handy if you need to break through firewalls (if you are in china and wireguard ports are blocked but 443 is allowed)

    If you use tor, your isp sees tor traffic (gibberish) but tor also supports obfuscation to make it look like http. All you need to use tor is tor browser (mobile apps exist too) so try it out… It’s free but you will see the limitations I mentioned.
