There's actually a very good reason why Russia operates like that - mutinies. If you give junior officers authority, in a political system like Russia's where the leadership's legitimacy is purely based on power and self-interest, they might decide they'd rather be the ones in charge. This was perfectly demonstrated when they gave a military unit autonomy, and that resulted in the Wagner mutiny.

The classic "Buy a reputable brand, cut costs and coast along on the reputation until you can sell off all your shares and move on to another company". Bonus points for using ~~legalised embezzlement~~ share buyback.

How do you stop a majority of the electoral college from completely trouncing the concerns of the other states?

Musk has objected to legal orders to remove some posts and accounts in Brazil and Australia, claiming he was a champion of free speech, although he has been less vocal about removing content in countries such as Turkey and India.

What a coincidence he doesn't have a problem following countries with leaders infamous for oppressing minorities.

The ruling is vague enough that any specific cases can be decided based on the court's political preferences.

I would personally enjoy the only article about him ever reaching headline status again being his obituary.

We need another seven for his convictions and sentencing.

From the guy who whines about Democrats inciting violence by calling him a threat to democracy after he tried to overturn an election too stay in power.

Why would Democrats not simply extend and expand the Voting Rights Act when they have a Congressional majority? Dems had this in 2021 when Biden took office - both branches, plus the White House.

Because Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema refused, so Democrats didn't have a senate majority. Both have now quit the party and sit as independents.
