The problem is that there is value in legal systems producing consistent results, especially when it comes to the kind of law both sides can spend millions on. Without consistency, the legal system backs up more than now as rulings are so wildly different that it makes sense to play the lottery with the courts. That causes cases to sit even longer and defense costs to raise higher for smaller participants.

And if the system doesn't perform well for those less advantaged, courts aren't the best place to defend making this systematic change. At best, it acts as a relief valve to pushing actionable political change.

You can get an incompetent evangelical ghoul voted into office. How do you think most county magistrates get voted in?

Pennsylvania is a swing state and likes fracking politically. As Republicans support fracking, this could be the one issue that convinces some Pennsylvania voters to vote Republican over Democrat.

Several states have elected Supreme Court Justices. Across the states, it has been seen that rulings are generally more inconsistent.

That said, Mexico has civil law instead of common law where legal precedent carries a lot less value.

Aside from racism, it is usually the belief that the new immigrants will either be economic competition for those with jobs or a drain on welfare.

Yes!

But this is really more of a crude simulacrum that can parrot out recorded bits of a person's life on command.

The Heritage Foundation released one that includes several former Trump staff and the current VP nominee; it is Project 2025. You aren't going to get anything more precise out of Trump or his campaign.

Harris released her full platform and it is ok. I'm sure people want her to do more, but I don't know if she has the votes for it.

I don't think you are going to get a full policy update because the policies in Project 2025 are so bad and the Trump campaign doesn't want to run on it. That's why Trump is running on the idea he will stop immigrants from eating your pets.

The public spaces seem better maintained than in the USA. Mass transit is also better in general to equivalent American cities. A lot of it feels driven by a relative lack of homelessness in tourist areas combined with continued post war investment in urban areas.

Food seems more expensive in general, but it depends on the country/region.

I've never had to deal with EU healthcare besides Covid testing. Turkey is really great for medical tourism.

Europe felt safe in general, but then I feel safe in where I travel in the USA.

You probably also have the friction been .world and the developers' Lemmy.

There is also a problem that Lemmy seems to be having problems maintaining a good middle ground of Lemmy servers.

Not quite. Cheap money is more that a loan doesn't cost that much money to pay back. It isn't the treasury loaning out the money, but individual banks judging based on inflation.

So this a video about a young couple traveling across the United States on Greyhound.

That being said, the only reasons to pick a bus over a plane is due to cost or the inability to drive.

So start going after the fencing network. Make it risky to hold a stolen phone.

The Gaza Strip seems very poorly served by the Palestinian Authority, let alone Israel. But, the area has relatively stable borders and it would likely have a stable government in Hamas. So, what if Gaza just declared independence as the government with sole control over the Gaza Strip?

Would Gaza get recognized by other countries? Could it parlay the recognition into forcing a permanent peace with Israel as becoming a recognized country puts Israeli treatment of it into more known sections of international law?
