Sounds like Norway's system. Unless it's a year where I've bought or sold property, it's basically a one-button process to approve my year's taxes.
It's definitely popcorn material and shouldn't be put up next to Foundation or Dune. I quite enjoyed it, and I've read most of the books on that stack except the Jimmy Carr one and City of Thieves. But if OP doesn't like the first book, there is absolutely no point in reading the rest of the series.
Pop Ready Player One to the top. It's a breeze to read, and it's got real heart and lots of humour. Loved it. Red Rising is the start of a fairly long series. I quite enjoyed it, but it'll be quite a digression from your reading list.

Anything that is not tied down will be promoted to missile in rough seas. This does not except sailors.
If you're still in the service at this point, you're OK with being a thug.
Bad. Hypothermia is no joke and water is 20 times more conductive to heat than air. Even if the immediate shock doesn't make the situation worse, at near-freezing temperatures you're talking 2 minutes to symptoms, less than 15 minutes of submersion to unconsciousness and *at most* 45 minutes to death.

Did you borrow my cats?! I have an orange, long-haired Norwegian forest cat and a black, short-haired one. They look exactly like this.
I'll take "Lies we tell to children" for $100, Alex

Elevators would be a pain in the ass. Also, busses would be really tall.
It's like a hyperviolent midget with knife hands. Maybe you can tank it, but maybe it gets your balls.
They arranged it will we were snoozing, the fuckers

I have batlike reflexes. I scream and smash into walls.
So toilet paper costs $1 a sheet now, huh
We live off of narratives. We tell each other - and ourselves - stories about everything. We see patterns we do not understand, and we make up stuff to control them. Rain dances and dowsing, sacrifices and obeisances, lucky shorts and attending church on Sundays so God knows you love him. It's all about the narratives.

Don't sell Trump short. He was also a joke in the 2000s.

Did he mug the SlapDash guy for his eyebrows?
That's a great summary. With all that, go out and ask people how many think anything like a class war exists. People will deadass look you in the eye and tell you that was something that happened in the early 1900s with the Pinkertons and shit.
I'm going to shoot for a real answer; because baking, floristry and childcare just doesn't scale. A baker can create and sell maybe 200 products a day, a florist can plant, tend and sell maybe 50 plants a day, a childcare worker can attend maybe 30 kids a day. All those numbers are pulled from my ass, but the point is, there's a physical outer limit. A programmer (AI slop gargler or not) can create something that can serve millions. If marketing pushes sales by 5%, that can mean billions.
Unread bibles?
IT IS A STRETCH. He had 80+ felony indictments waiting for him before he got reelected -- you think the FBI would have omitted the big one? The democrats on the oversight committee wouldn't have put the entire thing on WikiLeaks if they thought it would have stood up to scrutiny?It's sad how people are clinging to one the FEW crimes the fuckwit didn't commit, because it's not enough to be a feloniously corrupt, criminally incompetent fascist lover, no, he has to be a fucking pedophile.
People subscribing to conspiracy theories that makes them feel good is what gave us Trump in the first place.
There is absolutely no gain for the american public in any scenario whatsoever. None. You are not the intended benefactors of this war. You never were, and you never will be. You are expected to resignedly accept this pain because you can't do anything else, but they would like you not to blame them for it, even if they are directly and predictably responsible for it. The extra dollars you spend at the pump is a Trump Tax, and it is a War Tax, and the beneficiaries will be the already wealthy.
