At this point it’s entirely a self-referential joke. People bring it up to reference the stereotype itself, not to actually call the French cowards.

The only thing proposed that’s reasonable is “changing regulation.” It’s too easy to block new housing, and often times it’s just flat out illegal to increase density or build mixed use.

It’ll make the bottom of the market more expensive.

For real. Dude is claiming old memes used to be creative while using leek spin as the example.

Yeah, but your fridge doesn’t break every six years. I’m totally on team repair (FrameWork will be my next laptop when this one can’t go on any further, my shoes can be resoled, I just touched up my jacket, etc) but a 10x premium doesn’t exactly make sense, even when you factor in that repairability is unfortunately a niche feature these days.

So I looked them up, and the cheapest home-style refrigerator they sell costs $10,000. Am I missing something or are they really just that expensive?

RCV still has spoilers, it’s just they happen differently. Mostly commonly in three-way competitive races, but they can technically happen under any number of candidates greater than two with any level of support.

Cardinal methods don’t have mathematical spoilers, though a new candidate can change voter behavior. But, that’s possible under any system.

I know STAR. Can you explain the multi-winner variety?
