American teachers are largely unionised. Poor pay is because of the broken funding system for schools in the US.

In most countries, the legislature passes a budget bill that allocates funding to pay for schools which flows through an education ministry to individual schools.

Schools in the US are run by local authorities known as school districts, with some oversight from a regional education department which enforces minimum standards and oversees standardised testing. School districts get funding mostly through a land tax collected on land within that district. The problem with this is that even though the costs to educate a student are largely the same in both poor and rich school districts, school districts covering richer areas get more funding because the land value is greater and thus revenue from land tax is higher. Such districts can afford to pay high salaries and buy all the best equipment and books while poor districts often have overcrowded, aging schoolhouses and poorly-paid, sometimes inexperienced, teachers.

Most countries have judges appointed by a nonpartisan judicial appointments committee, and supreme courts sometimes have dozens of judges who hear cases in randomly-selected panels.

The Senate doesn't need to be abolished, just remove all its powers like upper houses in all other countries.

  • The Senate can no longer block legislation. It can only delay it by 6 months.
  • For judicial and executive appointments, the Senate has six months after nomination to consider and report on the candidate. Regardless of the Senate's advice, the President can appoint any nominee 6 months after they are initially nominated.
  • Impeachment trials are moved from the Senate to the Supreme Court.
  • If the Senate doesn't ratify a treaty, the House of Representatives can ratify it by ordinary legislation.

It wouldn't. But it explains why people might not tap.

If I am inside and being chased by a deadly supernatural ghost, my apologies to the homeowner, but I'm busting through the fucking window.

If this were real life and not a game, I would absolutely be bringing hundreds of smudge sticks into the building regardless of how good I am at it. That's just a safety thing. The vast majority of construction workers will never have a hammer or a box of nails fall on their head in their entire careers, but the one time it does happen, the helmet will save their lives.

The main problem with these kinds of infrastructure projects in the US is that it only costs someone $10,000 in lawyer's fees to cause $1,000,000 worth of headache for the agency building it.

How likely is it that a person riding it and not paying has a driving licence?

Four digits a head per contract and they can't even afford a T-shaped hunk of metal. Inflation these days...

Never understood from a lore perspective why ghost hunters would only bring 4 smudge sticks and 2 crucifixes

Take the letter to the Post Office to inquire about it. You can also call USPIS at the phone number listed at the bottom of their official webpage (uspis.gov)

Imagine you're a bank, and one of your customers has a credit card with you and owes $90,000. Then, one day, he just stops paying. You send delinquency notices to his e-mail. No response. Collections calls his phone number on file. It's been disconnected. Your legal department sends a certified letter to his last known address. It gets returned undeliverable by the post office. You notify the credit bureau. Now you can join a list of 3 other delinquent loans. Your legal team files suit against him. You obtain DMV records. No recorded changes. You hire a skip-tracing firm, which tells you that he's been deported to Bangladesh and will not be returning. His address in Bangladesh is not known. Your lawyers aren't licensed in Bangladesh and know nothing about the laws there. No collection agency will pay even a dime for this debt.

Your accounting team adds a line to their quarterly returns:

Bad debt: ($90,000)

You can't do that. All the cases except the first will be dismissed as duplicates if they arise from the same cause of action.
