Not every law, but there are some policies that create bad situation when they are illegal in some states but not others. Historical examples are slavery, prohibition, voting rights, marriage equality, and abortion.

Slavery being legal in some states but not others led to the Civil War, prohibition led to mob wars, etc. States still have the power to legislate within the law, but setting federal limits is sometimes necessary so the States can remain United.

This is one example that I think makes sense. Different states have different fire risks and other reasons to prohibit or permit fireworks. Also, fireworks don’t tend to be an essential or regular part of people’s lives. Abortion is essential healthcare. Marijuana is a daily or frequent part of many users lives (and essential for some medicinal users).

Things like this, marriage equality, slavery, prohibition, voting rights, etc. function better when regulated at a federal level.

Exactly why marijuana policy should be federalized. (Probably not through the courts)

Of course. Iran is more like a monarchy. The king is still the king, but if the people are unhappy enough, the king might be compelled to give up influence to parliament.

Not a perfect analogy by any means, but I think it helps.

Truly superhuman.

More states need to do this.

This is also exactly why Roe v Wade made sense – not just because it was the morally correct decision. It ensures that you don’t have radical changes in laws from one jurisdiction to another. How can you have something be legally regarded as a felony in one state and standard healthcare a five minute drive away.

That’s the exact lead in of the Atlantic article about this (paywall)

The only way to stop a bad guy with pellets is a good guy with pellets.

Iranian elections are generally considered fair, although the candidates must be approved by the Supreme Leader, and wield very limited power, so it almost doesn’t matter if the elections are rigged or not.

If the Reformist candidate wins, it would be the first time that the president and Ayatollah are not in lock step. It could be interesting.

Anecdotes aside, prison stocks skyrocketed after Trump’s election. Anybody wonder why?

See, this is the most frustrating part of the American homeless crisis. Literally the cheapest solution is to just build free housing.

The cheapest solution is to just fix the problem, but instead we choose to do more expensive things that don’t do anything to address the issue, but may possibly make it temporarily someone else’s problem.

No, quite the contrary.

You’ve probably read that in the early days of the State there was a lot of resentment towards Holocaust survivors. They were counter to the national narrative of the “New Jew” who was strong, hard-working, and living off the land. Shoah survivors represented Jews as victims, who did not fight back against the Nazis, instead going like “lambs to the slaughter.”

This all changed after the Eichmann trial (1961), which is when most of the world first came to understand the true nature of how the Nazis operated. Many people did fight back, and many couldn’t.

Holocaust survivors are revered and honored in Israel, although the country suffers from poor social services with a lot of gaps. Shoah survivors often fall through those gaps, along with other elders.
