Voting rights alone did not transform political participation or competition in India, but they did shift government priorities in favour of the newly enfranchised voters.

I am looking forward to the papers measuring if there is a pet penalty. My (quite depressive) guess: much more gender balanced than the child penalty.

Le bouclier anti-exil n'existe pas encore mais il pourrait voir le jour très simplement, car sa faisabilité technique est claire:
Depuis 2018 il existe un échange automatique de données bancaires, permettant de taxer les milliardaires exilés en Suisse ou dans d'autres paradis

The US has a weakness: its groveling, highly internationalized oligarchy
Why is it a weakness? Because it’s a tiny number of people, who rely, for their wealth, on accessing foreign markets—thus giving foreign countries sizable power on them
It’s now time to use that power 6/x
