Love to live there but chances they'll let me are roughly 0%. It's convenient (for them) that racial discrimination isn't a crime in Japan.

The way ethnic minorities are getting treated in the US at the moment implies a race to the bottom.

> the state just functions in a way that other European countries can only dream of affording being able to

I have fixed that for you.

nairboon · 2026-01-27T09:56:27 1769507787

That affordability is closely related with fiscal policy...

kakacik · 2026-01-27T14:28:31 1769524111

And morality and their conscientiousness (what a word).

If you look at the map of Europe, lay it over with that fiscal discipline and above, there is no mystery how things like income are spread out across the map, it all makes sense. Also a good confirmation that well regulated but proper capitalism is the easiest path for any country to long term prosperity.

You don't need > 50% of the votes to make a majority when you're pool is more than 2, which it was. Weird thing to hang your hat on.

treetalker · 2026-01-04T14:49:30 1767538170

Majority means > 50%. Perhaps you meant plurality.

Regardless, US presidential elections do not depend on getting a majority or even a plurality of popular votes, but rather on a majority of electoral votes. And Trump did not get a majority of popular votes as claimed.

This being HN, the fact-check seemed appropriate and I stand by it.

Of the definitions, seems like the third is correct for this context:

3 : the group or political party having the greater number of votes (as in a legislature)

>And Trump did not get a majority of popular votes as claimed.

I would think that he did.
