When I saw Loomer’s plastic surgery I realized she was one of those desperate Sugar Babies who’d do anything to be a “winner.”
This is one of my favorite stories.
Newman was an amateur race car driver. He brought a crappy looking old Volvo and had it modified so it could hit 150 mph. Racing tires, shocks, etc etc in a car that looked like grandma drove it.
He’d tool around Los Angeles and look for young street racers and challenge them.
It’s funny. Putin has a personal fortune of over $200 billion and yet somehow he isn’t part of the ‘capitalist class.’
“What if Russia did it too”.
They did.
Anthony Scaramucci, the short, short time Trump appointee owns a New York restaurant where Sugar Baby/Sugar Daddy parties have been held.
In order to make sure that the women are desperate, the usual invitation list favors the men. If they have 30 potential Daddies, they invite 40 or more women.

Back during the Watergate investigation, one of the witnesses let it slip out that President Nixon had a formal ‘Enemies List.’
One of the dangerous foes was actor Paul Newman.
I did a search because it seemed to crazy to be believable.
Waste of time; they are always that crazy
By that logic, every Union is a cult. All I said was that people should organize and show up and vote.
“The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress” by Robert A. Heinlein. It’s a really good science fiction novel and the handbook for a lot of Libertarians.
You can read and enjoy it as a story, but if you examine it you’ll see all the hoops the author had to jump through in order to make his society work.
One of the most glaring examples is that there are almost no guns in a prison where machine tools are readily available.
The GOP pushed both the Greens and the Libertarians to siphon votes from the Dems.

Look up The Moral Majority and Jerry Falwell.
Falwell made himself a big deal in the GOP by getting his troops to show up at every single local Republican event with enough votes to make sure that they got everything they wanted. It started small with sheriffs and county clerks, and then Congress members.
Does this mean that by voting Republican we can secure abortion rights? The answer is no.
Actually, by your own post, in Alaska it does.
New York City established Ranked Choice voting in 2020 under a Dem Mayor and majority Dem City Council.

I like to read old science fiction and check out the things the authors got wrong.
Maybe my favorite is the ‘mini VHS recorders’ from Neuromancer.
