    It sucks, and is something we absolutely need to fix in the future…

    But we’re literally picking the new head of the HR department. And every head of HR before this person was picked this way, because of the policies set by that HR department. Like, the only way you could change this rule would be for 37 of our 50 departments to come together and agree to change the rules as part of a company wide convention. And all of them run their HR systems the same way, so that doesn’t look too likely.

      Start at the bottom and work your way up. It will take a long time. Meaningful change always will. But we got Fargo and St. Louis using Approval Voting and proved a small group of motivated individuals can change their government.

        Start at the bottom and work your way up.

        Or just become a Senator at the age of 30 by selling out to your state’s massive insurance and legal community.

          Er, well, I’m not sure what you’re planning there but I think the first suggestion would be better.
