Hey, that's not true! The president still has to obey the law. He just can't be punished for breaking it. And you can't use evidence against him.

Differences, people!!

I don't want to embarrass you, but uncheck the "inflation-adjusted" box in your first graph and recalculate.

China isn't doing this for the money. They do it to keep those countries under their thumb. It's more like, "Yeah, you owe us a billion dollars, but we'll forgive half of it and give you a fifty-year extension on the rest because we're just the best of pals!" And then your country is expected to vote with China in the UN for the next three decades. On top of that, it makes the Chinese government seem really rich and powerful, which is helpful for both its internal and external politics.

China is trying to buy its way to the top like the US did in the mid-twentieth century.

I love the Internet Archive but they are pretty clearly legally in the wrong here.

Not morally, mind. I support open access to knowledge. But they very clearly broke copyright law here.

Perhaps the only way to get rid of them for sure is to require a CAPTCHA before all posts. That has its own issues though.

Yes, the method of intake is oral. The intravenous lethal dose is irrelevant in this conversation. Nobody is injecting salt in their veins.

Choosing to spoil your ballot or not vote is a valid expression of a voter's democratic power.
