Parkinson break
I've stopped paying attention to the mechanisms of elections, since elections are meaningless... but a little change in the news today is worth thinking about for a moment. The Repoofs in Iowa decided to stop doing their early 'straw poll' because it was meaningless.
Until now, every single aspect of the presidency, and every single aspect of elections, was purely additive. Any event or thingamajig added by anyone remained part of the duties of all presidents and politicians in the future. Constant accretion or hoarding, no cleanups or tossouts. Like skin mites that eat until they explode.
As the actual presidency and the actual election lost all significance, the workload of the president and the operatives continued to increase.
Parkinson, of course.
This little change is a violation of Parkinson as well as an honest recognition of emptiness,
so it deserves a tiny bravo.
