It'd need to be a system that automates itself instead of needing surveillance. Something that simply disincentivizes corruption.

A government could be good. In theory:

• one year terms for elected individuals in public offices
• no second term
• getting elected is a random draw (akin to jury duty) based on the individuals' capabilities
• authority limited in scope within city states

I'm sure there's other ideas regarding this.

Earliest memories of video games were titles such as Aztec, Spy vs Spy, Frogger, King's Bounty.

But what really got my eight year old mind captivated on a summer vacation in the 80s was Elite on C64. I've spent hours into the night trying to get as far away from Lave as possible, all while trying to make some profit on hauling food and computer parts. I did not understand the concept of saving and loading a saved game back then, so there was a lot of trial and error into permadeath involved.

In what cases is it not of a person's own doing? Barring medical conditions that would make them exempt (such as hypothyroidism or antidepressants).

If this would happen, would Houston and Austin be like West Berlin back in the days? Exclaves of the USA?

If this happened due to suddenly everyone being able to read each others thoughts unfiltered and without the ability to block others out from your own, it would be amazing. However power corrupts and I don't think there is an utopian situation where abuse would not happen in a society where information is given up voluntarily.

Wigs are a very specialized industry. I had a friend whos husband immigrated to Canada via Express entry being a wig maker specializing in natural, hair based wigs, that's how high in demand the profession is. The guy was supplying multiple province's patients with wigs.

I'd imagine that such a business would not have to stay open for long hours during the day or even multiple days per week due to most orders actually coming in through phone from healthcare providers or those affected.

Where I live, we have a helium balloon party store nearby. It's open two hours a day from 10:00-noon, except on Saturday it's 10:00-13:00. The guy's business is booming, you can see people lining up for their orders and picking them up during that window. The store is so specialized but affordable compared to their big box competitors like party city etc, it's hard to beat.

I beg to differ.
