I’m far from an expert on current Parisian politics, but I can confirm that the mayor of Paris doesn’t preside over a lot of suburban area. Not sure for the power of the mayors of the individual arrondissements.

The (populated) area inside the red line is basically all high density so the people actually doing the voting should be rather in favour of fewer cars and better transit. The surrounding suburbs — where there are more carbrains — are different administrative units so they don’t really have a say in how central Paris is run.

In many areas (e.g. Toronto), these suburbs also vote for the mayor and tend to block progress. I think this is also part of how Paris can make rapid progress— the voters actually live in the city proper.

Thank you 😊 they are — I love their chill attitude. I make do quite well with the micro version although guinea pigs are, justifiably, more skittish.

Sorry, I’m being very disrespectful to the fan of the metaverse

It’s ok. Zuckerberg can just shut off his emotion chip.

Pepperonimandering is a stain on the political serving process! Pie slices should be wedges, simple as!

Also the threats of annexation. Don’t forget those.

Glory to you… and to your house.

Yes, make sure to save the crunchy bits as well for garnish and texture when you make a one-day blinding stew.

Data: Captain, due to a highly improbable fluctuation of subspace, it appears that all Christmas presents for the neighborhood have quantum tunneled underneath our Christmas tree.

Geordi: if we reverse the polarity of the warp coils and emit precisely positioned nadion bursts from the phaser arrays we could reverse the tunnels and send the gifts back to their original locations.

Riker: We could save Christmas?

Picard: Mr. Laforge, Mr. Worf, make it ho ho ho.

Worf: Sir, I object. I am not a merry man.
