One political event from the past fourteen years that I can look at and go "something fundamental changed for the better". Finally one representative actually declaring that this system is bullshit and holding firm with spite, instead of the constant compromise and corruption. Finally laws are simply removed instead of augmented with "fixes" that just rearrange deck chairs to make a different group profit even more.
Not that I have much hope of it staying this way for long. Even the EFF here is preemptively giving in and saying "USA Freedom" will be passed, because anything else would be too wild against the status quo (there's that corrupromise again!).
But at least there's this one brief beautiful moment to enjoy before going back to writing code, the only way for freedom to survive the infopocalypse.
