Ok, ignoring the whole &quot;America is a joke&quot; and &quot;America is a failed state&quot; this is quite interesting. There was the long debate between europans and americans on how to write law. We have vague rules which state the intend. Over seas the law is a strictly defined border. So of course https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/13/musks-xai-is-running-nearly-50-gas-turbines-unchecked-at-its-mississippi-data-center/

@mms@mastodon.bsd.cafe Mississippi (and Alabama) in particular are going to have racist interpretations of existing laws. What might be immediately flagged elsewhere might get ignored if it's just in a mostly black population area. Note the involvement of the NAACP, which works to fight racism

@mms@mastodon.bsd.cafe To be fair, the USA now seems to be post-law. Things which are _clearly_ illegal are brought to court, the judge rules they must stop, and they just appeal. While that works its way up the food chain, they continue the illegal behavior. The US Constitution is supposed to be the Ultimate Authority. Yet powers specifically assigned to Congress are being taken over by the President. Congress simply refuses to enforce their own powers. How can it change when the rules are simply ignored?
