As strange as it might sound, the Heir's not exactly jumping for joy that a ballot provision to defund the police failed in Minneapolis.  The failure did confirm for him that for the most part the electorate did not buy into the radicalism that impressed the Heir as to what DTP was ultimately about.  He read online articles about voters being unsure about the vagueness of what form a post-police public safety situation was supposed to take.  But the Heir's thinking that the voters didn't want radicalism to permanently damage democracy in Minneapolis if they saw that DTP wasn't necessarily about the police but about the concept of radicalism to seize control and defeat reason and sanity any way they can, through any political issue they can.  The Heir has never doubted the Ed Snowden influence in DTP, but he does believe the more troubled precincts in Minneapolis probably need a Camden City -style overhaul to reform the system to make it more fair for the residents.  But that's not how he believed the voters viewed the ballot measure.  He saw the DTP'ers dismiss the election results as a result of voter misinformation, but he believes they just have to say that just to save face.  They really don't want to deal with the embarrassment of public opinion not being on their side.  So the Heir sees them as having preset responses to the results regardless of how the results would turn out, instead of maturely using this present defeat as a stepping stone towards ensuring true reform and balance for all residents in the city.  He's never believed DTP really cared as much for the pragmatics of true reform as much as just using electoral politics to make a political statement.  As per the Heir's dealing with Flaileef over the years, he sees that kind of mentality as patently unhelpful.

The Heir sees just as much hot air produced at the climate summit as produced by global warming itself.  With the exception of possibly Biden, the Heir doesn't see most of the world leaders doing anything meaningful once they've gone home.  He heard Boris Johnson on audio use a lot of hyperbole and fatalism, but he wonders what Johnson is saying or doing now back in London.  He doesn't think the Queen imploring world leaders to do something about global warming by itself will have much effect, particularly since many countries at the summit no doubt don't have or acknowledge royalty themselves.  The Heir disagrees with the premise made at the summit that this is somehow humanity's last chance to do something about global warming.  It's never too late to to do the right thing, though doing so includes the Heir himself doing away with space tourism, since he's still mentally calculating how many passenger car fuel tanks of fuel go into just sending up one rocket, and how much fossil fuel emissions both from the rocket and the production of the fuel itself have added to the average temperature of the planet.  He didn't hear them criticize *that* at the summit.
