If that is a fixed requirement for your choice in 1950 you are screwed.

The whole House of Representatives as well as 1/4 Senators and Governors are up, too. There is always so much at stake, and it is frustratingly easy to prevent any progress.

And tanks are called that because in WW1 the British wanted to keep the idea a secret and named them because they thought they looked a bit like water tanks.

I remember what you describe, from the UK point of view, which was equally indefensible. However, most people who attend are thinking of the two world wars, where the threat was most certainly real

"Many" is a bit exaggerated. Most of the German communities in South America actually arrived in the 19th century. Particularly the 1870s. At the end of the war people did take advantage of the fact that South American countries basically had open borders. This also helped the Jews BTW. Brazil and Argentina both have large Ashkenazi communities as Jews fled Germany, Poland, and Russia in the 1920s, but were not accepted into North America. The real stickler are the particularly heinous Nazis that ended up in South America. But actually far MORE nazis were recruited into the United States. As part of the space and weapons research programs, but also just as agents to work against communists.

Also, there were WAY more than 300 Greeks at the battle of Thermopylae. It was probably more like 7000 Greeks, of which 300 were Spartans. The force was being led by King Leonidas of Sparta, but that was more as a result of his tactical skill, rather than the number of soldiers. Still it was 7 thousand Greeks against 300 thousand Persians.

Sorry, but that sounds like a lot of propaganda. I remember very well the Second Gulf War that the US under G.W. Bush started. How was invading a country based on falsified reasons exactly "protecting your freedom and your way of life"?

its a myth he did nothing. He did no new regulations, but also removed many bad regulations, lowered tariffs and slashed taxes on those lowest income brackets by 50-75% leading to a consumer spending binge (also reduced the highest income brackets by 30-50%, and removed govt fees around investment to encourage them to put their wealth in the economy, creating a manufacturing and farming boom), and much more. He is considered "do nothing" because he removed a lot of bad regulations, old WW1 restrictions still on the books, and more, but didnt put in new regulations or taxes.

This is what happens when you have politicians creating an environment that feeds on racism and reinforces not only these beliefs, but that people can act on them without repercussion. The fact that both a presidential candidate and their running mate can repeatedly make false and racist claims like "Haitian illegal immigrants are killing and eating the pets of American citizens" with no repercussion or drop in support from their party shows how willing they are to exploit extremest views for power.

When a significant percentage of your country's population are poor and homeless while your government rules the world with the highest defense budget in human history, I would consider that overpowered.

The Separation of Powers is in that the President appoints the Supreme Court, but only with the approval of the Senate. Unfortunately, the partisanship we've seen in the last 30 years or so means the Senate has largely given up their oversight and review power over appointments in favor of rubber-stamping any appointment from a president of the same party of the Senate majority or obstructing any appointment by a President of the other party. The presidential election is important for who is appointed to the highest court, but the presidential election shouldn't be focused on so much that Senate races are ignored. It matters who serves in the Senate, and whether they are actually responsive to the public or just partisan hacks.

They should heavily tax anyone with multiple homes, incrementally increasing it the more homes you own. This wont have an enormous impact on the middle class that may of bought a second home but it would shake up the rich from hoovering up property. And why not embrace work from home more, then all those city office blocks, can help alleviate the the lack of available homes

I'm sorry, was there any doubt about that from the very second it was announced? Ridley Scott makes entertaining history movies, which is generally great, but his care about accuracy has gone out the window a long time ago.
