    can you give me a tl;dw? I'm not invested enough in "Special Districts" to put myself through another 15 minutes of this guy. Is this about gerrymandering?

      Special District = water district, school district, etc

      One person can be living in many

      No oversight. A lot of waste. $100 billion spent on them in the US

      Highlighted examples of abusing the system

            Is going to have a tough time keeping the show interesting if he can only use one issue every week. Pretty soon it's inevitable you run out of things to get worked up over.

            Then again I love the guy, but it's a little bit like Penn and Tellers bullshit show.

              PS Chris, don't you guys get HBO?

              Maybe Robin Hood could hack the sheriff of Nottingham's private server?

                Do you Brits not have something similar which lambasts British politics?

                    Actually not really, the concept is slightly different here. We have satirical 'quiz shows' with comedians, but it doesn't go as in depth on any one issue and just goes across them all superficially, like "oh look at the government, being wankers again, lol"

                        Don't get me wrong, the other shows are popular. Things like 'have I got news for you' have been running for decades. But just nothing in the same format of one guy railing on something in particular.

                              You're forgetting we get drip-fed things to be outraged by, so we move on from one thing to the next before actually doing anything about it.

                                No doubt. I remember a while back someone saying a good way to tell how deeply serious the issues are were hyperventilate over is to get ahold of a newspaper from ten or twenty years ago.
