I think you have it backwards, unfortunately. Data can always be deleted, but American laws can’t be changed. With an evenly split Senate, where the opposition has declared a “100% focus” on stopping the government’s agenda, and you need 60% to pass anything — let’s just say that all non-spending bills are effectively dead for the next 18 months. And most likely, far beyond that. Laws can’t really change here, so we have to live with the system we have, and hope that courts interpret the laws in better ways.
- asdff 5y agoLaws get undone all the time. Prohibition, slavery, gay marriage, segregation, etc.
- labster 5y agoSure, most of your examples are a century old. The new America all legislation happens through the courts, like with gay marriage. We have collectively decided that gridlock is preferable to working with the other team in all cases.
- jraph 5y agoData can always be deleted but you have no guarantees that it will. Said otherwise: - if you want the data to be gone, don't assume it is - if you want the data to be backed up, don't assume it is Said otherwise: - expect data to be there forever, unless you wish so. Then, expect data to be gone just before you want it back. And, I don't have any guarantee whatsoever that a law protecting something related to me in a remote country will be left untouched. I don't even have any say on it, as a non citizen of this country.
