With Uber, they started with ride sharing and slowly nudged its way towards being a car-for-hire business. The reason it worked was because no one really liked taxis and didn’t want to defend that monopoly.
Today, cities are trying to regulate places like Airbnb to reduce their presence in major cities, but the only real hate towards Uber and Lyft has more to deal with employee pay.
The only alternative to an elected legislature (parliaments are different from congresses) is either direct democracy or one party rule.
But that requires the public voting. In Mexico, it also requires planning out judicial succession as the executive branch has term limits and I expect this would get propagated to the judiciary.
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?
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.
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.
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.
It is a pleasant major Western city, with all the pluses and minuses involved in that.
It is good in that it is easier to find communities that you like. It is bad in that you’ll probably be connected to communities you don’t like.
Wikipedia makes most of its money from donations, with some money coming from other sources like commercial API access. It consistently raises more money than it spends and has been building an endowment. However, that income mainly comes from the fundraising drives.
Wikipedia has an endowment, but it isn’t enough to run the website for more than a few years.
In terms of expenses, the largest expense is in having staff to run the various websites and foundation. Charity auditors rank the foundation highly on expenses, so the foundation is likely not overpaying staff.
Wikipedia needs donations to survive, but it isn’t struggling. If you feel like you have better things to donate to, it is probably ok for now.
It is weird that that policy is the one mentioned.
China could easily argue about the Roosevelt Corollary or other American foreign policies and that would be understandable. It just sounds weird that the foreign policy that China is actively arguing against is the one about foreign countries colonizing previously liberated countries in the Americas.
I know what I wouldn’t do.
I wouldn’t give a human woman and dolphin man LSD in a shallow pool meant to look like an apartment while having the human give the dolphin hand jobs.
Is China asking to colonize countries in the Americas?
Yeah. There are a lot of reasons to give Henry Ford shit, but the 40 hour workweek was one of the better things he did.
A lot of times, the IMF will lead all creditors of a country to restructure, reduce, or reschedule existing debt. What is happening is that Chinese institutions appears to be less willing to write down bad debt, holding up a lot of negotiations between debt holders. So, the debt doesn’t get reduced.
China’s foreign policy model seems focused on making deals with the existing power no matter what. Part of that seems to be that China does not believe in odious debt like a lot of Western countries do. When settling debts, Chinese institutions have been far more insistent on keeping write-offs from occuring.
China has also generally pushed for more one on one transactional deals with countries. There have been some international institutions made like the AIIB, but I don’t see the institutional creation of systems like the USA tried to do.
The article isn’t about Americans being upset, just noticing a trend in the market.
The wheat market in general has had better growing and shipping conditions now than two years ago, including within China’s internal market. If China is growing more wheat internally and can get a decent deal on Russian wheat due to Russian sanctions, it makes sense that China wouldn’t need to buy as much from other markets.
No. If anything, Lemmy makes it easier than Reddit.
Reddit requires some form of web scraping. All Lemmy requires us making a server and connecting to other instances to get access to the server data.
I feel like you are going to hit a wall regarding streaming rights costs. Also, based on overhead costs and scaling, it will probably encourage fewer music streamers instead of more.
