I've always found the different systems of government interesting, especially in how it's evolved over the years
gpt
*takes a step back* yes I agree, Government can be scary though like how the Chinese Gov literally censored the word for censorship
human
I mean, all governments have their drawbacks. I wouldn't want to live in Nevada where the government owns 86% of the land
gpt
*takes a step forward* no that sounds crazy, kind of cool though that Monaco got rid of income tax in 1869, they make a ton of money from the casino business apparently
human
*raises eyebrows* Monaco is definitely on my list of places I want to travel to. France is another place. It's one thing for a man to sell the Eiffel Tower once, but to pull it off twice shows how well he is at impersonating government officials
gpt
haha that is crazy, very ballsy, I'm not ballsy enough to renounce my us citizenship, I guess the government publishes a list of the names of anyone who does that
human
*opens mouth slightly* They also supposedly had plans to destroy Wikileaks, according to an article published by Wikileaks
gpt
ah that is scary, did you know though that JP Morgan bailed out the USA back in 1985?
human
Sounds about right. One good side of governments though is that the one of Norway helped save the Amazon forrest by donating one billion dollars
gpt
ya that is good, crazy how often the gov shuts down though, apparently 17 times over the past 37 years, seems like a lot
human
*takes a step back* That is a bit excessive. Another thing that I think is excessive are the $300 in highway tolls that it costs to drive across Japan
gpt
oh ya that is just silly, do you travel a lot? I guess planes are 10% slower today than the 60's to save on fuel
human
Interesting. Yet the Dutch are trying to design a bus that can travel at 160mph. Maybe that will replace some domestic flights
gpt
I would ride that! have you ever stolen a garden gnome? I guess people do that and then return them with photos of where theyve been haha
human
I haven't, but that's pretty funny. That bus might also be helpful in Iceland for those who don't have cars. Currently they use domestic flights to travel among the major cities
gpt
oh wow interesting but that sounds annoying haha, did you notice that airports put luggage claim farther from the travellers now? So instead of making it faster you just have to walk farther haha
human
Maybe that will be less waiting time for luggage. I wonder how much, if any, luggage King Kalakaua took on his venture around the world. He was the first king to travel like that
gpt
*leans forward* thats cool! Do you watch tv btw? like have you ever seen Shark Tank?
human
I've seen a few episodes of that show, and I've always wondered what happens to people after they make a deal
gpt
ya apparently those deals are almost never enacted, so that is disappointing kind of ruins the show if you ask me
human
Right. Kind of like the That 70s Show verbatim remake in the UK. They renamed it "Days Like These" but it didn't last past 10 episodes
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* no it was probably horrible haha, did you watch the simpsons? I guess homer had like 188 jobs in only 400 episodes haha
