"Our disagreement is not merely political, but a fundamental divide on what it means to live in a society." - a conclusion that I've been stumbling upon in a completely different part of the world. Politics is the effect, ways of being are the cause.

CEOs tend to be people who have worked their way up through large organizations, unlike billionaire entrepreneurs or hedge fund managers. The CEOs of America’s largest companies almost universally oppose Trump because he is the antithesis of who they are—servant leaders who have succeeded by bringing people together to win as a team, with integrity, global thinking, and open minds.
This year, Trump has taken increasingly extreme anti-business, including proposing draconian, universal 10% tariffs on all imports from all countries, which would hurt businesses and consumers while raising prices across the board. Trump has also suggested he would curtail the independence of the Federal Reserve. No CEO relishes the prospect of a politicized Fed driving destabilizing see-saw swings in monetary policy to satisfy presidential whims.
A brief explanation of why experts need to communicate their positions when they have them, and not hide behind the pretence of neutrality.

Clearly valid for all ongoing elections, but the USA is that one important player that is lagging behind drastically, even behind China

@coldfish @natematias some amazing journalism is not paywalled, yet still accepting donations. Beyond the other great examples mentioned here, consider also the Guardian. Hardly qualifies as local though.

In at least one thing the US is no different from any other place: all the invisible people that make part of society.
Yet, maybe there they have a bigger sway than elsewhere. This might be bad news for the current elections, but it is a good thing overall.

Hungary’s nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who is also friendly with Moscow, was quick to hail Georgian Dream’s “overwhelming victory” on social media. northwestgeorgianews.com/…/article_d3e0eb41-89f5-…
"These plutocrats’ efforts underline the wisdom of something that Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis once said: “We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can’t have both.”
Crystallizing Brandeis’ fears, the billionaires backing Trump don’t seem terribly concerned about preserving our democracy. They support Trump despite his talk of being a dictator on Day One, terminating the Constitution and siccing federal prosecutors on his political opponents and critics."

@kristinHenry my own experience confirms that too
@Qazm, yours appears as an attitude inaccessible to less technical users
@heidilifeldman @Qazm said this way, LibreOffice Write appears to check all your boxes. Maybe you were not aware of the iOS version, called Collabora

Infant death rates were higher than expected for several months after the Supreme Court struck down the federal right to abortion, with most of the increase coming from infants with birth defects, researchers reported on Monday in JAMA Pediatrics. https://t.co/YOI2Iy3LJS
