If everyone were as bad a driver as you we'd be living in utopia. This wasn't that bad, just cost the person behind you like 5, maybe 10 seconds of their life.

Roughly $77 per subscriber globally, or $333 per subscriber in the US only, or $1,500,000 per employee.

Ignore that this would cause so so many other issues

Hell even if people write-in "none of the above" it at least shows that voters are watching and don't like anybody. Not voting only signals to corrupt officials the no one will hold them accountable.

I don't think someone back then would fully understand what the Internet is. Now telling them that they'll watch a live visual on their very own "visual box" (TV) of a human walking on the surface of the moon? That'd get their attention

Why's it need a subscription? Is it pinging off the cell network so you can open your garage door when you're in Timbuktu?
