You need a legislature which the US has. And you need the institutions centered around having a head of government that’s not the head of state, which the US doesn’t. Gonzalez is an idiot that doesn’t understand the US constitution but that’s implied by his party membership.
That’s an asnine argument. A human being having an intuitive understanding of another human being’s experience is more reasonable than a human being having an intuitive understanding of a fish’s experience. Even if we don’t account for this, it’s reasonable to expect that people are able to explain how they know things.
The precedent set by circuit courts is only binding to court’s own jurisdiction and can be overridden by the supreme court if it wants. And the cases that can make or break democracy will be heard by the supreme court.
But supreme court sets precedent for the other courts and deals with most potentially damaging cases.
Not necessarily. In semi-presidential republics, the prime minister is nominated by the president in agreement with the parliament. In normal circumstances this is functionally equivalent to having the prime minister be elected in the parliament but there are cases like Russia and France where the relationship between the president and the prime minister is similar to the dynamic between Trump and Musk.
I worked in retail when I was younger. Most of humanity is fine, some of it is even outright pleasant. The problem with working retail is that there’s no bottom to how low a few people can go.
When something is subject to the network effect, competition requires interoperability. This applies almost universally to technical standards.
It’s a dark joke about a nursery rime. It doesn’t read like a call to action.
Non-islamic right wing terrorist attacks are more common than islamist terrorist attacks in Germany. For “some reason” it just doesn’t end up in the news for long.
The strategy last times he and Bush tried was to threaten to put tariffs on exports from swing states. This minimizes the negative impact for European citizens while maximizing the political damage for US government, so it’s basically a no brainer.
Except Moopsy. Everyone loves Moopsy.
The hospital makes money on treatments, the health insurance makes money on avoiding treatments.
My (non-profit) statutory health insurance/Krankenkasse in Germany pays me to do yearly prophylactic checks every year for this reason.
Shouldn’t health insurance companies be up in arms over this? Vaccines are usually much cheaper than paying for treatment. Unless they are planning to say that lack of vaccination makes it the patient’s fault.
So they have support from a fascist country and from a fascist country cosplaying as communist. Doesn’t change much.
Or at least before he self appointed himself as President Musk.
It depends. What do you think will be the impact on the EU economy if Russia invades Estonia in 10 years, triggering a nuclear war?
Have you seen the kind of people these kinds of jobs attracts? We aren’t talking about Starbucks workers, we are mostly talking about people that get off on power trips.
You mean Musk’s and Bezos’ generation? I wouldn’t call what they are doing keeping the status quo. And just to be clear, I don’t mean this is a good way.
TIL Lexmark is still a thing. Haven’t seen anything made by them in decades.
