RE: Govern by Candlelight

It's so apparent in the US. Voting is on a Tuesday and in wealthy locations it takes only a couple of minutes to vote, but in poorer, more diversity locations, voting can take 8-9 hours and now it's illegal to give out water to people standing in line.

Even in Australia, you see a lot of housing projects voted against by local councils because the only people voting are retirees who are financially motivated to keep their property values as high as possible.

I wish there were the words to describe this... we're not living in a true democracy, we're actually in an energymocracy or timocracy or something.
