  • 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.







  • The Heritage Foundation released one that includes several former Trump staff and the current VP nominee; it is Project 2025. You aren’t going to get anything more precise out of Trump or his campaign.

    Harris released her full platform and it is ok. I’m sure people want her to do more, but I don’t know if she has the votes for it.

    I don’t think you are going to get a full policy update because the policies in Project 2025 are so bad and the Trump campaign doesn’t want to run on it. That’s why Trump is running on the idea he will stop immigrants from eating your pets.


  • The public spaces seem better maintained than in the USA. Mass transit is also better in general to equivalent American cities. A lot of it feels driven by a relative lack of homelessness in tourist areas combined with continued post war investment in urban areas.

    Food seems more expensive in general, but it depends on the country/region.

    I’ve never had to deal with EU healthcare besides Covid testing. Turkey is really great for medical tourism.

    Europe felt safe in general, but then I feel safe in where I travel in the USA.
