[23:04:18] <exec> 08└─There are cases where democracy could be at least more difficult to capture. Basically, if democracy is local enough, it gets to be harder for someone with enough money to pay off enough people. After all, if Bill Gates had to pay off 20 million people to lower his tax bill, it probably wouldn't be...
