I agree there is a simple and more concise way of answering, but I saw it as a teaching moment to go a bit more in depth.

Yeah, I think what you'll really get with a wall of text like this is that people don't read it and you missed the chance to influence them at all. Case in point: I didn't read your response. Just skimmed it for the above paragraph.

If you feel the need to write a lecture, at least answer the why question first. Otherwise people really don't care about the mechanics of the damned thing.

You're answering the wrong question. That's a "how" answer, not a "why" answer. Surely there is a simple one-paragraph explanation of why FPTP is terrible

On a side note, Ranked Choice specifically is only slightly better than FPTP compared to say Ranked Robin, STAR, or Score voting.

Whatever you do, please don't split the alternative voting vote and let FPTP win with 40%.

Do you also expect the cost of titling and taxes be included in the advertised price?

As a European, yes. Absolutely fucking yes. I drove a Model 3 away (a while ago obviously) with all papers in order paying exactly the listed price.

Statista puts their 2024 GR at $164 billion. That would make a max fine of $6.5 billion per year. I'd almost be willing to just take that deal.

Fines for violating GDPR can be up to 4% of the previous year's global revenue. Not just profits. Not just within EU. They'd have to fully withdraw from the EU market to flaunt the law this egregiously.

Russia certainly produces it in lathe amounts but they mostly need it for domestic consumption these days. The Norks, though. They DGAF whether their slaves are coping so you might get some from there.
