Seems like a set up what with him removing fuel taxes and the companies keeping the price the same.

quote:Analysts expected the president to use 15 million voters' seal of approval as a platform to step up plans to carry out economic and electoral changes that could concentrate more power in the hands of the state. That's a little dishonest on the part of the writer of the article. AMLO's electoral reforms involve removing redundancies in the agencies and judicial bodies responsible for regulating elections, as well as opening them up for democratic election. Will these reforms help with other policies he wants to pass? Probably. Do they set him up to be dictator for life, or fundamentally undermine democracy in Mexico?

I'm amazed at cutting fuel taxes and then waiting for gas stations to charge less out of the goodness of their hearts People are buying the gas for what they're charging now, and they can't buy less gas because they gotta get to work, why would they ever charge less

I feel like the house of Lords is not even close to the top, since they don't have the defense of ostensible democratic elections, they can't really be as pure a stumbling block as most senates, which often feel free to block every meaningful bill out of the lower house for years at a time

Isn't the House of Lords only even powerful in theory but in practice is just a holding tank for inbred failsons? Seems unfair to compare it to the Senate in the US which is like an apex predator that feeds on things that are good and popular

it is not in your interest, as a psychic vampire subsisting on the suffering of your victims, to kill your source of joy and exhiliration. much more useful to keep the victim just on the edge of dying, forever frustrated and futile

im American megachurches cumming over those Guatemala numbers e: these numbers always make me wonder about the full picture, though. I know the process in Uruguay has been going on for quite a while, but in Chile it was veeery slow process of secularization that kicked into overdrive with the child abuse scandals and the absolutely dismal handling thereof by the chilean church. I do wonder how much of the 'cultural' aspect remains - I feel like things such as praying to San Expedito, fulfilling mandas and building animitas are practices that even people who no longer identify as Catholic could still be doing, but then again, that was never orthodox catholicism to begin with.

Yeah they're particularly strong in Central America (see that Guatemala graph), but even in places where the evangelical surge is mostly homegrown they are absolutely wising up to the fact that the American religious right has money to burn for people who want to parrot culture war bullshit in their own countries.

the geography lines up. in chiapas i'm not sure if i saw a single pentecostal church whereas when i crossed into guatemala they were on every street corner. a family friend is one of those missionaries who went to guatemala. he lives in an incredibly nice house in a walled compound in the guatemala city burbs and the ixil who pay tithes to him do it for housing so he's essentially their landlord
