I'm listening to this podcast in history of Chinese philosophy and the were talking about the concept of inaction in rulers, and how the best ruler is the one that is unknown by the people, the second the one that is loved, the third the one that is feared and finally the one despised.
NY financial regulations can have global impacts. Not entirely related, but I'm in Brazil and our company have to complain with SOX and other American regulations. So being in NY is not even close to any other American city.

Better than Brazil because is smaller with less population. If you take only São Paulo (unfair in its way) it's way better than chile, or Santiago (for a more fair comparison).

Citations Needed: Episode 157: How the "Culture War" Label Is Used to Trivialize Life-and-Death Economic Issues
"Let the Culture Wars Begin. Again," The New York Times announces. "How the 'Culture War' Could Break Democracy," warns Politico. "As The Culture Wars Shift, President Trump Struggles To Adapt," NPR tells us. "Will Democrats Go on the Offensive in the Culture Wars?" Vanity Fair wonders.
Over and over, we're reminded that so-called culture wars are being waged between a simplified Left and Right. Depending on who you ask, they tend to encompass issues under very broad categories: "LGBTQ rights," "abortion," "funding for the arts," "policing," "immigration," "family values." While there is some validity to the label of "culture war issue" – say, Republican opposition to an art installation, or tantrums over the gender of M&Ms – most of the time, the term is woefully misapplied.
Despite what much of the media claims, LGBTQ rights, police violence, abortion, and so many other issues aren't just "culture war" fluff in the same league as the latest Fox News meltdown about a cartoon character. Nor are they both-sides-able matters of debate. They're matters of real, material consequence, often with life-and-death stakes. So why is it that these are placed under the "culture war" umbrella? And what are the dangers of characterizing them that way?
On this episode, we discuss the vague nature of the term "culture war"; how this lack of clarity is weaponized to gloss over and minimize life-and-death issues like police violence and gender-affirming healthcare; and how the only consistent criterion for a "culture war" seems to be issues that impact someone other than the media's default audience, i.e., a white professional-class man.

Kinda Bolivian elections, where each party have their spot on the ballot and the same candidate can be endorsed by different parties so you can have the same picture of the candidate repeated.
