1. Providing Authoritative Information on Voting During the Pandemic

We hear it all the time (especially in Europe):

- irresponsible people would not secure their retirement so the state needs to force them to do it,

- irresponsible people would not fasten the seatbelt so law must force them to do so,

- irresponsible people would not vaccinate their children etc.

But when elections are coming, all these irresponsible people will wisely choose the best president, after detailed investigation of the economical treaties. Pure absurd.

I like the idea of Fredrich Hayek - everyone votes only once in the whole life at age between 40 and 45 years. (Assuming the cadence is 5 years). Only interested ones.
