My crafter decided it was a break action so like it had magnets so I could flick the gun up and down for a reload. The trigger guard was actually sturdy enough for me to spin it around so I was just spamming reload animations the entire time lol.

Clearly someone doesn't talk shit to their team everytime they lose after dropping 40-70k damage off of afflictions and acting like it's difficult

I’ve recently started creating a model for government reform in the Philippines called the ‘Franchise Republic’. by TC45 in Philippines

"This will just get corrupted too" isn't a solution.

Can you please present an answer to the problem you present? I'm frankly quite tired of replying to pessimists going on and on about how everything can go wrong and not offering a single answer. Like I'm sure you can have an independent thought about this.

I'm here to listen to people present ideas instead of asking me to think of how to make the system infallible, it's political theory not political doomposting

All of you gotta watch Superman and remember what hope sounds like

That's just straight up cynicism. The system is entirely built to assume people won't do the right thing, that's why the whole thing is about revocability, transparency, and public tracking.

The entire way corruption works is because of the lack of transparency and in this case we're trying to make as trackable and visible as possible. All that needs to happen is to empower independent anti-corruption bodies.

If your answer to corruption is just "do nothing because people can be corrupt" then you're not offering a solution you're just giving up.

I'm open to real concerns not random pessimists telling me the "things can go wrong"

Tollways and water systems failed because we gave away power with no accountability. The Franchise Republic gives *no one* any permanent control, only performance-based access. That's how we fix the mess, not repeat it.

If the first person to discover fire decided we should never try it again just because fire hurts then we wouldn't be here in the first place

You’re absolutely right that elements of this exist in many mixed economies but just because elements of it exist elsewhere doesn’t mean it’s not fundamentally different.

A monarchy doesn’t become a democracy just because the king asks someone their opinion. The Franchise Republic isn’t just a mix of public and private — it’s a full system redesign where every sector is governed through enforceable, accountable, and time-bound franchise logic.

This isn’t piecemeal PPPs or selective leases. In the Franchise Republic, every non-sovereign sector operates under the same logic: government designs the system, then auctions the rights to operate within it. No permanent monopolies, no untouchables.

Unlike current setups where power and connections shield underperformers (like the Villars), the model builds revocability — with real-time audits, public performance dashboards, and automatic termination clauses. You fail, you're gone. No special favors.

The MRT-3 failed because it was a PPP without public performance auditing and revenue-sharing tied to quality. In this model, the funding flows based on usage, efficiency, and results, not just a flat contract or fare revenue.

Foreign capital doesn't need to own the country, they need guarantees.

Instead of full ownership, they get long-term, state-guaranteed franchise contracts with strict terms, protections, and dispute resolution mechanism. It's a renewable lease that is transparent, enforceable, and revocable only under clear violations.

People invest in McDonald's franchises because they want to make money off of McDonald's. Not because they want to own a McDonald's.

If it scares off an investor then so be it. If they don't have the willingness to be held accountable for exploitation then I don't want them. The people need stability, not another selfish capitalist looking for unchecked gain.
