How much monetary support does Israel receive compared to how much does it earn from exports? I'm looking up their industries and Israel is into diamond cutting, which carries its own ethical issues

If we want an economy with a floor, so no-one is living in poverty, then we also need a ceiling.

They could have done it because of his name, but just not admitted it, or given no reason at all. Systemic racism is hard to prove, which means it can be remarkably persistent

I now want to know in what year does the final patent on mp4 expire? I have done a quick web search, but I cannot find a good answer.

Yes the proposed change to the constitution lacked detail, but that is entirely in keeping with the constitution as a whole, it is a "high-level" document after all. The detail would have come in the legislation that enacted it, with plenty of public consultation and discussion in parliament, no different to any other legislation. In its final form it would have probably looked a lot like previous advisory bodies that we used to have, with the critical difference being that it could not be disbanded just because the government of the day didn't like it.

It is straight from the neoliberal privatisation playbook. Defund public infrastructure until the public complains, then "fix it" by privatising it

The "benevolent king" is a persistent myth isn't it? They feature in so, so many works of fiction
