Reply to European economies have developed stronger anti-trust regulations, more competitive markets, and more robust consumer protection than the US in the last 20 years. The reason for this is the EU. EU member states are incentivized to empower a strongly independent pro-competition regulator. by smurfyjenkins

By contrast, the US system essentially only responds to completely legalized bribery by campaign financiers. Thus the Bankers Association writes the bankruptcy and student loan laws, and no laws needed by non-wealthy citizens are even possible for the most part. It is why the US never had a sane or rational student loan system or much else that makes sense for hardly any voters.

I think this reinforces the likely truth that Elon Musk has no idea what he is doing and maybe never entirely did. Also, it reinforces the divestment of the world republics away from China. Putin’s war of imperial aggression and China’s games with Taiwan prove that it was always a mistake to engage on substantial trade with totalitarian scum and that they are always an enemy and can never be a friend or partner.

Corporations assist the AND and ANDF with financial contributions. by Meatrition

American voters alone have the motive to fix political corruption in campaign finance and so far they suck horribly at every aspect of it with possibly 98% consistently failing to ever contact any leaders to so much as lift one finger to complain about legalized bribery and coercion. Congress staffs are amazed and relieved at how stupid voters are to never oppose corruption.
