much less time wasted in between meetings.
they definitely also get more done
One time there was this new mode, for like 1-2 years, of 3v3 online. it was probably the most fun mode madden has ever had. it just needed a few tweaks. sensible stuff. But it would've been amazing!
but no. because it was difficult to get to in the menu system, fewer people used it and few people knew about it. so of course telemetry is going to say few people used it. but it had a TON of potential! a product owner made the wrong decision to cut that feature, and guaranteed they used misleading telemetry to justify it.
As a new person you can't possibly know everything. If you dont have someone showing you the ropes then you have to take initiative and talk to others.
Especially in larger orgs, this is invaluable.

Bitcoin is better in those unstable currency countries. The market will decide (has decided in some cases). So maybe inexorably bitcoin will be the reserve currency for a large portion of the planet. And at some point there will be a tipping point where it's going to be attractive enough to all other central banks.
It turns an everyday person worldwide into equals with central banks. That's pretty radical.

So really, the citizens' choice in my example would have be to designate percentages at the top level, say to DoJ, DoD, DHS, etc.
That in and of itself would put a lot of power back in the citizens' hands. Of course, I don't see this happening, but that would be transformative. And we'd see a lot of campaigning/advertising/propaganda from each Department asking for taxpayers to direct their funds to them...
But my original premise was that Congress is gridlocked and if you think they're not serving the citizens' best interests, then this is an alternative from left field.
There's a sizable market for non and anti Microsoft products.
