VaporTrail Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 can you give me a tl;dw? I'm not invested enough in "Special Districts" to put myself through another 15 minutes of this guy. Is this about gerrymandering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Special District = water district, school district, etc One person can be living in many No oversight. A lot of waste. $100 billion spent on them in the US Highlighted examples of abusing the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Steve Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Is going to have a tough time keeping the show interesting if he can only use one issue every week. Pretty soon it's inevitable you run out of things to get worked up over. Then again I love the guy, but it's a little bit like Penn and Tellers bullshit show.

DieHardBrownsFan Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Like I want to watch some british fag making fun of the USA. We have our own little brit fag who hangs around here already.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Do you Brits not have something similar which lambasts British politics? Actually not really, the concept is slightly different here. We have satirical 'quiz shows' with comedians, but it doesn't go as in depth on any one issue and just goes across them all superficially, like "oh look at the government, being wankers again, lol" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, the other shows are popular. Things like 'have I got news for you' have been running for decades. But just nothing in the same format of one guy railing on something in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSS You're forgetting we get drip-fed things to be outraged by, so we move on from one thing to the next before actually doing anything about it.

I remember a while back someone saying a good way to tell how deeply serious the issues are were hyperventilate over is to get ahold of a newspaper from ten or twenty years ago.
