There has been a lot of centralization of power under the administration of AMLO in Mexico. From abolishing regulatory agencies to examples like this, it’s no secret at this point that consolidation of power has been occurring at a federal level.

This is just the latest (and quite troublesome) development in his tenure. Mexico is worth keeping and eye on.

It is worth noting though, he has pretty high approval ratings (65% as of April) so citizens mostly support his actions during his tenure.

No one knows who or what would come out of a power vacuum, but history tells us it’s usually a more hardline and extreme result. With some of the reports coming out of more hawkish elements within the Russian government adding more and more pressure on Putin to take further measures in mind, it can be a major cause for concern.

0-100 real quick. He was not joking on the whole revenge thing.

Exactly we have seen the Russian governments stance become more hardline/hawkish as the conflict has progressed and many Russian military failures. If Wagner group and Putin turn on each other, it’ll be the best for the world.

Russian military has been shambolic to say the least. Honestly think it’ll be a case study for other countries in the future on poor leadership in a 21st century conflict.

Just cancelled prime a few days ago and yea it was a pain. I love all the small shady crap like using a grey text box for the “cancel membership” button and the blue one for “resume membership” followed by another page full of reasons why you shouldn’t cancel and double checking to make sure you know your losing the benefits. I swear it might’ve been a total of 4-5 pages.

Side note, more companies need to be held accountable for this as well. There are a lot of streaming services that do the same thing.

Climate caused migration may be the biggest international issue that northern developed nations will face in the 2nd half of the century. The massive impact the climate has had in the equatorial/lower tropic countries the past few years has been alarming.

There has not been a time for ripe in modern times for a strong 3rd party candidate. To bad the whole system is rigged against it.

What really did it for me was Huffman’s quote on how “Reddit users, communities, and discussions are one of the largest data sets that cannot be given away for free” (summarized quote).

The rumored IPO made an entire corporation do a 180 so ruthlessly and clumsily in a way that I have never seen. It’s destroying itself and rightfully so.
