A pack of 10 guavas is $2.37 at my grocery store in Texas. $3 for 1 is crazy

Are we reading the same article? I don't see those numbers, I see:

A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted between Thursday and Friday found that 5% of Republicans and 2% of independents said they are much less likely to vote for Trump because of the jury's ruling. Meanwhile, 30% of Republicans and 13% of independents said the verdict made them much more likely to vote for Trump.

Why haven't any American brewers been able to make a solid lager? I typically get Spaten or Becks, but pretty much every American lager I try is terrible

Australia's car manufacturing industry is basically non-existent, they import almost all of them. The EU and US have huge manufacturing bases they're trying to protect

The US has basically always had some level of federal control over some private property, beginning with construction of the National Road in 1806. "Principles of capitalism and private property" as you describe it here is a much newer ideology popularized by Reagan in the 80s that's still a libertarian fever dream much more representative of the US Republican party rather than "the West."

It's easy to see a period of worsened infighting though. Right now, there is a litmus test that's basically "support whatever Donald Trump tells you to support," without any coherent ideological basis.
