"The European Commission is investigating the deal under the EU’s Foreign Subsidies Regulation, looking at the approximately $24 billion being fronted for the takeover by the sovereign wealth funds of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Abu Dhabi."

i didn't know any of these stats, but as stated they're misleading. mail-in voting as a widely accepted practice is a recent phenomenon (15 years?) and i lived in california for 10+ years without knowing it was offered. i also think in-person voting is preferable and healthier.

Idaho adopted no-excuse mail-in voting in 1972. Washington did it in 1974. California in 1978. Iowa in 1990. Arizona, Wyoming and Vermont in 1991. Nebraska in 1997. Oregon in 1998. Wisconsin and Florida did it in 2001. NC in 2002. Ohio in 2005. Georgia, Illinois, and NJ in 2006.

"These investigative efforts all led to the same conclusion: the film and television industry is highly dynamic, and the proposed transaction is not likely to harm competition or American consumers."

American Idol: "Over 110 million votes were cast in the first season, and by the tenth season...nearly 750 million."

United States: "How Many People Didn’t Vote [in the 2024 presidential election]? Close to 90 million."

this'll even things out
