They are ment to listen to the people in their state and put forth bills or amendments to bills to help the people of their state they represents.
What really happens is they enrich themselves with insider trading and do stunts to keep their name in the headlines even if it hurts people they represent. The reason this works is journalism is effectively broken where it's all about sensationalism vs actual truth. So they more crazy the stunt the more your name is out there.
They put forward amendments and bills that were written for them by corporations that donate to their campaigns / lobby=bribe.
The reason it works is the vast majority of people ether vote because their party affiliation is wrapped up their personal identity or vote for the name they last heard. Also the vast majority of people don't vote at all. So they are not incentivized to actually represent.
Capitalism is killing us
That's every other country other than the US regardless of economic system and China is not really communist. Totalitarian yes but they have this weird mesh of capitalism but the government can shut you down at a moments notice to benefit the state or more the officials in charge. America by no means superior but giving credit to a economic system is just incorrect. I could build trains all day long if I could bulldozed anyone's home and build with zero regulation for heath and safety. The impressive one is the EU. Different economic systems working together with a working rail system between countries.
There's always qemu-user you could try
The reason has nothing to so with higher quality. They just do cost cutting of not having to create lighting and pass the cost on to the customer by having us raytrace and thus requires more horse power that GPU makers failed to deliver.
Yeah Terry Matalas has gone on record that he was more concerned about how to get from one reference and cameo and how much of a struggle it was to craft a story around that.
Or beter yet having a new story with new characters. So the universe doesn't feel liked it can fit in a small living room in a NYC apartment.
And that's all we need no need to revisit that series leave it be. But I will take an HD remaster.
At least we have the tildeverse

Advice from a dentist
Be super gentle and just drag across your teeth very slowly on each side and on the top. No need to go back and forth just make sure get close to your gums with only a soft brush head.
DS9 is the perfect sweet spot that they got by chance of fighting with Rick. The early seasons were more episodic and thus more character driven. This gave characters lots of growth. Then when you do that for a few seasons bam. Cool multi episode serial arcs that put even modern shows to shame with flushed out characters modern shows only dream about and becase you are not locked in to one format or the other. You can have a fun baseball episode to blow off some steam in the middle of a war.

I kinda of disagree with this as I always felt it refers to Time or the event frame of time

I think it's more an American needs your help cause there is not a chance in America to do it as the deck is too much stacked against Americans.

With out Tim it would never be the same even if the rights were not in limbo
A sequel to Arcanum that moves the timeline forward into the information age?
Healthcare workers should have combat like ribbons like the military has. Like first responders got during 9/11.
Does anyone remember a movie title about a a secret group of people that pause time and rebuild the world.
If we have Black Friday after Thanksgiving where everything goes on sale. Does that mean April 5 is Orange Saturday where everything gets more expensive.
With all the CGI/AI corpse puppeting that keeps happening. At some point someone is going to remake Triumph of the Will with an all star cast of recently deceased movie stars.
