Everyone representing themselves is an extreme example but hopefully clearly shows how more representatives are better at representing a group than fewer. Compare a voting result of 50% A, 25% B, 25% C with a system that gives you 1 representative (from A) with a system that gives you 5 representatives (3 from A, 1 from B, 1 from C).

Electoral college permit states to choose electors who can cast their vote in a way that doesn’t reflect how people in their state voted for. If a critical amount of states agree they can choose to make the overall result better represent nationwide what all Americans voted for (an election of an election results in a bigger misrepresentation error).

I consider “at least some of the time” to be an argument in favor of the opposite position. Beside, a public corporation also “sometimes” does what’s best for their consumers/user (when it aligns with the best interests of the shareholders, instead of the keys to democratic power).

I don’t consider myself sufficiently informed about whole countries. Sure America isn’t China but as an ally country… I worry. First past the post and an electoral college are not a voting system which can provide people significant representation in government. If any elected American has the majority of the people’s best interests at heart, that is luck because it’s not by design.

What’s bad for the goose is bad for the gander.

The line between corporations and governments is not so clear when it comes to what’s in a citizens best interests.

most people dont really care about the political ideology of the person who leads the company

Do people know the political views of most company heads? Difficult to say if people care if they don’t know. If those political views clearly harm you (e.g. anti-gay sentiment in 2010’s) then most of those affected would care?

We can ignore politics but politics won’t ignore us, probably we aught to care what business do with the money we give them.

I’m finding it difficult to help at work as I stopped using Windows years ago.

The search function fails to find basic menus or programs, I’d have an easier time using Windows XP. I’m sure part of it is I’m forgetting things and not up to date with changes but when typing “printer” does not give a useful result either it’s as shit as I hear it is out of the box from M$ or it has been crippled by work’s OEM.

I don’t see how it’s “greatly” helps at all in practice.

Worst case you have routes which drastically fluctuate in driver demand and you’re sending drivers to cover multiple routes a day, and hiring more drivers is probably the better solution.

Calling drivers seemed to be really practical before GPS existed, at best you can argue it’s more efficient for the boss.

Isn’t the man calling to ask where they are, when they need to know, good enough? Unless it’s been stolen what’s to be gained by spooky spying?

Microsoft now permits

The benevolence! Letting people do what they want with their purchased software. wow!
