Even if that was somehow true, do you seriously think someone can just refuse to step down because they feel something is fishy?
You want to claim it was rigged, fine, but you should still step down when you have officially lost an election.
It is the absolute minimum you should expect from a western leader.
He also said he was a dictator because of the lack of elections, when Ukraine is at war and a big part of ukranians are refugees in other countries. You can not have elections when there is a war inside your own country.
Trump himself even tried to overturn an election, so this is more embarrassing than whatever Biden has done, and i am definetly not a fan of him.
One of my earliest memories, is my stepfather saying he just ate one of my Kindereggs, and replying "no" when i asked him if he removed the toy.
It was kind of fucked up, because, not only did I have to worry about him potentially having the toy inside of him, but I had no idea if that was likely to be lethal or not at that age.
He ate the egg and hid the toy for a week or so.
What is waste and not will change a lot from person to person, and as a percentage of gdp USA are far away from the top donors in forreign aid.
Either you have to cancel it all or lower the amount on it all. Because one mans waste is not everyones waste. I do not want to cancel something because me and my friends think it is correct.
one side going in and deciding what is waste and end it is not optimal.
I would rather be happy that the U.S are far away from the top donors in both forreign aid, and aid to ukraine. (as a percentage of gdp of course, this is a huge country)
I never watch CNN, but if they told me something wrong in this area, I would know it. It is my job.
He does not legally no. If he does that, and nobody tells him no, that is on him and his team. But he has at least been informed by some republicans about the illegality of what he is doing. And probably by his team long before that in private as well.
Argument? I even gave two examples of very specific texts which makes the actions illegal.
And they are not the only laws broken.
And i have not included any of the laws that 99% sure would be judgded as broken in a court. And there are more laws not mentioned yet that are 100% surely broken no matter which person with a legal background looks at it.
1 Did you really think you can do all of this legally?
2. Do you wish they could do all this legally?
Not even in a limited democracy, like the U.S can you do all of this legally no.
They do not have the needed authorization for it to be legal no.
The law only has as much power as it has respect and enforcement.
There are many, but lets start with:
-When congress directs the money to be spent the president is obligated to do it. (train vs new york-1974)
- The computer fraud and abuse act makes it a crime to intentionally access a federal computer system without authorization or exeed authorization access to obtain information. And the president by himself is not enough to give you that, for obvious reasons.
It is a valid point of view to say that spending should be cut, but outside of dictatorships you almost never have absolute power to do that.
Illegal actions.
If you want to fix or prevent things there are still some steps you can not take. How is this difficult to understand for anyone?
If you do not have a problem with Musk first using that kind of money to help install any candidate into office and then suggesting to end not only bureaus that investigated him, but also protected every consumer against fraud, then I hope you are younger than 18.
Not only is the totality of what they are doing illegal and a huge conflict of interests, but people have already died because of this as well.
I am fine with taking money out of politics and getting the U.S. ranked a lot better on the democracy index, than the current embarrassing number 29, but this is not going to help.
Musk and his boys are not neutral,this is as said not legal, and they are not even giving their findings it to a neutral either. It is being passed to the one person he spent a small nation's gdp to help install into office.
Wearing red hats in Norway, in 1942. (Nazi occupiers saw it as protest and banned it)
What ends up being the price for gas locally in the the u.s/worldwide is a lot more complicated than that.
local net salary and how long people live is a factor.
current War-situations are a factor.
+++
Gas is usually more expensive where drivers live the longest and have net salaries above the median, within a country. Because of this, You can expect California to always be either top or close to the top, no matter who runs it. Because people live very long by U.S standards and also have net salaries among the top 10 states. And you can expect Mississippi to be close to cheapest for the same reasons.
But yes, there is room on top of this to lower or rise the prices, but from early 2023, to early 2024 California is not anywhere near the states with the highest price increases. Montana had a 12,36% increase. California had 4,36.%
The invasion/war in Iraq became very costly for all American drivers, but also Danish drivers. But that affects all areas of a country though.
Your question is a bit like how much do you hate temperature.
Why would anyone dislike/like, Social democrats, non-corp democrats, corporate democrats, and regular Joe demos, at the exact same level unless you are brainwashed, intellectually disabled, or mentally ill?
On top of that, you also have many different personalities within those groups.
That conservatives find it much tougher to admit certain things to themselves/others and also seek help for mental issues is nothing new.
Already in the 80s we saw clear signs of this when far more conservatives answered "nothing" to questions like what would you do if you felt Inexplicably nervous and sweated a lot more for 14 days in a row.
And since then, every study seems to suggest the same.
I think you misunderstood. Most americans, unless well traveled are not going to notice this. And if they do, they most likely do not think of it as a problem/lack of grocery stores. Because you drive more than all other Western nations.
" While Americans are 3.8 miles from their preferred grocery store on average, the USDA also says that their closest grocery store is 2.2 miles away on average"

The direct USDA-link has expired, so I only find other sources referring to the USDA.
I will add it if i find it.
But this study, focusing on minutes, seems to be "in line" with that (8,03 minutes away from your main store)

Oh. I completely forgot about those, even though I also use that here sometimes.
Among all delivery services combined will you say that 90%+ of all homes have this option?
Well it is always about what is likely when it comes to this, because we will never get an ideal sample size for non-important topics.
And even if i cared about the exact number, I would not choose the average american, I would choose the median american.
It is still legal to discuss what could be the reason for a noteworthy difference, even if it turns out it is not even there.
Point taken long time ago.
The sample size needed to see that it is a big difference is not 100% of both the UK and the U.S.
If the real number is 19 in the U.S and 14 in the UK, that is still a significant gap.
We are not trying to measure down to the decimal point how many times the median person of both countries is opening the fridge. That is not important or interesting enough. But yes, then we would have needed the entire population.
