"Nonresidents will pay a new $100/person fee (in addition to the usual entry fee) at 11 of the most visited Parks."
A foreign tourist in a rental car will have to pay $135 to visit Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon.

The reality is that most of our cities are under-policed, given current levels of crime and disorder.
These violent street takeovers must be crushed with firm-but-fair responses.

"The chatty subway rider allegedly responded by punching the victim several times in the face before stabbing him in the abdomen, according to police."
This is why so many of us are afraid to confront rule-breakers on transit and want more police.

We should use words like "misogyny" and "attempted femicide" to describe what happened on the CTA train.
Why don't we use those words in this country? Women are routinely singled out by unstable, angry men for violence and abuse. We have a misogyny crisis.

I don't think all of Denmark's asylum policies are perfect, but they have prevented some of the social and political crises that have emerged in other European countries.
Notably, even UK Green voters express quite a bit of support when asked about specific policies.

“More in Common asked about measures introduced in Denmark, after it was reported that the Home Office plans were in part inspired by recent Danish ones. The proposals are less popular with people currently supporting the Greens, but even this cohort is more in favour than opposed.”

Over the past decade, Chile's homicide rate has roughly doubled, and visible disorder and crime have risen alongside a massive increase in irregular migration. If center-left and centrist parties don't maintain order and control, voters will turn to radical right-wing populists.

It’s certainly a coherent argument, but Biden was able to leverage an asymmetric power dynamic to his advantage with Mexico while Starmer will be in the opposite position with France/EU (UK as the weaker party). If he could barely get 1in/1out, how will he get a deal with almost unlimited returns?
