Anybody got that American political plane meme handy?

The ambien made me honest!
I’ve been wondering the same thing. Many countries around the world that are seemingly more religious have far less restrictions. Texas’ restrictions are absolutely draconian by comparison.
Looking at the two countries I live in, for example:
Portugal is a very catholic and traditional country. And yet abortion is legal for any or no reason up to 10 weeks, plus up to 24 weeks if the mother’s health is impaired (need not be life threatening).
Argentina’s population is like 75% Roman Catholic, many of them rather devout, and yet they allow abortion up to 14 weeks without any restrictions.
In both countries, these laws enjoy widespread support and are not considered controversial; the local conservative parties have zero interest in touching it.
This made me laugh so hard, I spit my drink all over my desk. Well played, sir.
They didn’t even name the country in the headline? What is this? Does NY Times think its readers have never heard of Moldova?
It’s not that easy to “just move” for most people, particularly if they’re not working in a professional field where they can get relocation with a new job, or save up enough funds to move. I say this as an American who moved to Europe, by the way.
I looked out of curiosity, they’re actually not doing well, revenue shrinking quarterly. Seems like other players are eating their lunch. Makes sense really, 10-15 years ago Dropbox was innovative but now? There’s like 25 other cloud drive providers. Dropbox isn’t really offering anything unique now, they’re just a commodity, and they can’t meet the package deal pricing of competitors (like Google drive being included with Google Apps, or iCloud Drive being included with Apple One).

This is what I keep thinking. If we drew a Venn diagram of hardcore republicans and EV buyers, they would be two distant, non-intersecting circles.
Doesn’t trump fall under this tough? He swore to uphold the constitution in his oath of office at Inauguration day.
You hear that, federate.cc users? All 5 of you? 😉
