Good call. What's this law's definition of "operating system"?

MOST cases don't make it to jury. They're more likely to be resolved via motions and countermotions and the decisions of a jduge. To dumb down "operating system" for normies, they're probably going to say something

Can you explain what Trump has to do with the health practices of Canada, the UK, Belgium, or a dozen other European countries in 2024? Or more importantly - what happened in 2015/2016 in these countries when measles first started reap

Measles is popping up in numerous countries the last couple years. Canada has way more cases than the US in absolute numbers and it's catastrophic per capita. It'd be great to start digging into the "why" and figure out
