      Kurt Andersen Retweeted No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen

      Continuing the great natural experiment. Two extremely similar countries share a 5500-mile border. One makes fundamental policy choices similar to other countries—e.g. publicly funded universal health care, inexpensive higher education, now sensibly limiting firearms—one doesn’t.https://twitter.com/noliewithbtc/status/1531442031570075649 …

      NEW: Following the Uvalde, Texas school shooting, Canada is expanding background checks, banning 1,500 types of military-style assault weapons, starting a buyback program, and requiring rifle magazines to be permanently altered to never hold more than 5 rounds.

      If the USA had a parliamentary system it would have universal health care and gun control.

          What if the Republicans were in charge under this system? What nightmares would they impose on the majority?

          We all know Amy Coat-hanger Barrett and many other republicans have been salivating at the idea of imposing theocracy in America.

          It would also have had multiple female prime ministers by now.

          Yes. This is almost certainly true. The major political obstacles in the US are the unrepresentative political and administrative structures.

          You've really just cut to the chase of why this country is so dysfunctional
