[@AdamWestish]

No, which country are you talking about? USA is energy independent almost all the time now that the orange clown is gone. Even when it hasn't been 100%, lately almost none of it is Russian material. I live in Hawai'i where we used to depend on Russian oil and it's gone and nobody noticed. Except that gas stations continue to rip us all off for the sake of rampant profit, thinking we don't notice that their costs have gone down.

[@jamespanizza3708]

@GOP Яepublican Caliphate of Texas wait, so the American gas companies are just charging us more? What’s stopping a company with low costs (since you said their costs have gone down) from lowering their gas price, outsell all the other oil companies, and make a ludicrous amount of money? That would definitely happen if they had the supply and means to do it. When Biden first got into office he cancelled the pipeline through Canada to the USA. We lost hundreds of thousands of jobs, but also a source of oil. He also stopped leases on federal lands for drilling. They also made it clear that they were antagonistic to banks who would give loans to energy companies for oil drilling. All of this caused speculation by energy companies that oil was going to be discouraged and highly regulated, which it has. That has made the price rise. The speculation that oil would be less profitable because of the government’s open opposition to it. Then our president started begging Putin for more oil. Do you not remember that?

I have visited Hungary a few times. I love Budapest - was actually considering to move there to start a business with a friend. But the financing didn't work out... At that time I had 4 Hungarian friends living there - 2 moved to the USA, one to Dubai and the 4th was looking to leave but stayed. From an outsider's view, walking around the city, going to restaurants and cafes, the gym, etc, it was so charming and easy to think "Wow - I could live here!" And I had cool friends... but it was amazing how much they wanted out and their main reason was Hungarians - even most of my Hungarian friends didn't like each other... lol They seemed to feel Hungarians were not supportive of each other's success - they felt neighbors eyes on them wishing them failure so that no one seemed any better than anyone else. They were amazed at how Americans get excited by and enjoy others' success... At the same time they were very nationalistic and felt the Hungarian people across their borders should be united into a greater Hungary. The other thing I thought interesting... Budapest has the largest Jewish synagogue in Europe - I went to visit - it's beautiful... but when people found out I went to the synagogue I was really questioned "Are you Jewish?" No... "Well why would you go there??" Ummm... I visited a lot of beautiful historic churches too... never asked about that. You can feel a nationalistic undertone that would favour Orban.

Maísa, as a US person, I can tell you that getting rid of Bozonaro (intended spelling, look up bozo), candidates need to focus on "bread and butter" issues at least as much as on that Bozo's character. But don't make it ALL about his character. Make it as much about his corruption and incompetence too (Brazil had a horribly high Covid death rate, as I understand). Give his "soft supporters" issues they can really agree with (job training, infrastructure upgrading, education, health care, increased pay for the lowest wage workers, shift tax burden from the middle class to the richest 1%, etc.). Again, attacking his moral/ethical character is great, but it should compliment, not substitute, for Bolsonaro's corruption and incompetence.

This was able to happen in Hungary because Orban's party won just 53% of the vote which narrowly got him the 2/3rds majority he needed. For all its faults, American democracy is less susceptible because our constitution is harder to change -- you need 2/3rds of Congress and 3/4ths of the states. Of course this isn't to say that other aspects of Hungary's autocracy haven't started to happen here, including the remaking of the judiciary, a right-wing propaganda network, etc.; we need to be vigilant always.

[@awrebyawe]

As long as you have gerrymandering, American democracy is at threat. Congress and state seats can easily be controlled

If you think about it, how ridiculous is it that you can lose the popular vote, but still be elected President, or that a state like Alaska or Rhode Island has the same representation in the senate as California?

Hungarian here. On paper yes, in reality the best doctors have left the country years ago or if not, they opened their own private practice. We have a waiting list of approximately 2 months (!) for urgent surgeries if you want to use the public health system. Obviously after months of getting your diagnosis. So all in all: Do Hungarians get taxed to have unviersal helthcare? Yes. Do they still pay thousands of dollars if they need a more serious surgery? Also yes. Not to mention that hospitals barely get any support, so some of them do not even have the adequate equipment to care for people properly.

[@vitoravila9908]

@@reginabaski8836 Hey, tks for commenting! As a Brazilian, I can relate to a underfunded health system, and having to also pay for private insurance. We got some places with a waiting list of over a year That being said, even a underfunded public health system is better than none. You understand that having a baby at the USA costs in average $13.000? Talking vaginal birth here, a C-section costs over $22.000. Insulin costs 113.39 per vial(average). A asma inhaler retails for $250 to $350. An initial consultation with a doctor will cost around $100 - $200 Calling an ambulance ranges from $400 to $1,200 or more plus mileage. Even a crapy public health system, where you can, at least, call an ambulance, have a baby, go to a doctor once a year and buy life saving medication at a reasonable price is better than what exists at the USA. Almost 30M americans have no insurance whatsoever, meaning, if they get sick, or have an accident, they will either die or go bankrupt...
