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.

Yes!

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

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

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.

Is China asking to colonize countries in the Americas?

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.

His party, not him.

AMLO is having fun in his lame duck presidency.

The Microsoft monopoly was never dismantled, why should Alphabet be?

If a king isn’t able to refute their signature in an act that would lead to military conflict, is he really in charge?

Well, that’s what coupons are for.

I don’t see the benefits but I see drama this would cause.

Moreso, Russia has actively supported the current Belarusian government including helping to put down protests in Belarus.

Yeah. Lukashenko knows the war is really unpopular with his people and that supporting Russia with troops would be a death sentence for him.

That Lukashenko didn’t even condem the Ukrainian counterinvasion shows how much of a minefield this war is for him.

The USA has an ok supply chain, but Europe’s supply chain has been crap for decades.

Until the Ukraine War, a lot of European countries never had to care about defense as important policy. They could rely on the USA if something happened and call it a day. Now, there is a decent risk that something could happen to then and the USA wouldn’t respond.

They will likely use the space to attack Russian infrastructure, making it harder for Russia to supply its troops while fortifying its gains.

That Ukraine controls Russian lands makes a status quo peace harder for Russia to accept.

Yeah, but the problem aren’t the monarchs themselves. It is the state apparatus around the monarchs that keeps fighting back.

Even if you removed the Thai monarchy, I could easily see the country fall into being run by a junta or presidium of high ranking officials to “safeguard the country”.
