There are a few things to note here. For both, around half of GDP is in the services sector. It doesn't matter that much what raw resources they export when it's a smaller portion of GDP (23% in Rwanda, 15% in Malawi). Also, almos

None of those would work without enforcement. Scams are banned, but that doesn't stop Chinese mafia from operating prison camps that run scams scamming people all around the world.

First of all, are those problems you would say do not exist in the US? And if that's the case, I'd disagree. But would any of those problems be somehow explained by the differences between the British and American systems? Especia

As a counterpoint, around 1/3 of EVs I see in France are Renaults. SImilar story, but a bit less evident, in Spain. Both have decent amounts of Hyundai Ioniqs, Teslas, and some BYDs and Dacias. But especially in France, Renault Meganes

For the most critical decisions you need to be able to explain it and reproduce it. If they can't sufficiently explain it, 5% of global turnout is a nice fine to ensure they really try.
