America really likes its precedents … shit like this has to be constrained by law

American civil war never really ended

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Ethiopians and Indonesians live too far to be a threat for Boeing senior executives and board of directors

If he really meant that he should have resigned during his speech…

Hence, the concept of jury nullification

In America, the right to bear arms goes hand in hand with its dislike of regulation. Maybe the system is working the way it was intended for the first time?

See, there is a qualitative difference there. Not being able to pay single payer for a procedure that is way too expensive is one thing. The other, is paying for insurance coverage and the insurer acting on bad faith to not deliver what the contract said it would.

The latter is just fraud but in America the judiciary lets this happen as it is dysfunctional as well.

On single payer, very complex procedures like organ transplants, tumor resections in complicated places (ie neurosurgery) become completely out of reach of normal people. That is also extreme and undesirable.

The public pays for coverage and expects to be covered. If the insurers think the cost is too high then they should just increase premiums instead of denying coverage under existing contracts. Simple like that.

Absolutely. The board is accountable for oversight of the CEO and was complicit in what was happening. They may say that they didn’t know the details but if they saw a sudden jump in profits due to introduction of the flawed AI they had the obligation to challenge the executive team as to its origin and whether it was done ethically or not (ie “oh you saw that this profit is due to the introduction of AI but are you tracking how many of the denied requests were legitimate or not?”)

Society needs to learn to hold board members accountable as well

Basically, anyone who does not agree with him now is being labelled a North Korea sympathizer

Yes. This possibility has been discussed for months now. Yoon framed the cuts to his proposed budget as an “act of sympathy to the North” in his speech.

He installed martial law because the opposition took down his budget proposal for 2025… WTF

For Trump that’s just preparing the terrain for real estate development.

Gaza sits on such a valuable beachfront! But those ugly ruins… Someone ought raze them down

And not because Trump is superhuman or something like that. It’s purely because american institutions and laws have nothing to stop his actions and the system only worked as it did due to gentlemen’s agreements that were in place by the so-called “establishment”. The president has way too much power in the USA and the naivety of US institutions in just hoping presidents would be decent is absolutely laughable.

No wonder the one time the US tried to export its governance model, it failed miserably (Liberia)

The power of presidential pardon must be revoked

Just wait until Trump pardons himself

Trump will test anyway, so not testing only delays the inevitable

Is not a race to bottom. It is just the most clear indication that the American system of governance has massive flaws and, as a set of institutions, the system has no way to protect itself from abuse.
