Remember when Trump moved the US embassy to Jerusalem declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel? People are kill-informed if they think things get better for the Palestinians under Trump 2.0.

In the US, know that insurance companies hire private investigators to follow and video people making injury claims. Especially higher dollar ones.
Maybe we should be seeing the realities of the world, even the horrors. It’s a lot easier to support things like war if you’ve never witnessed the brutality. This person was making a political statement by setting themself on fire. I imagine they wanted people to see.
I’ve never known “college town” to be used as a denigration, though sometimes students from big cities who go to school in college towns are eager to return to what those big cities have to offer and perhaps don’t enjoy the college town vibe as much as others.
College towns are great in my opinion. Especially many of the small(ish) towns where large public land grant universities are located. (Penn State/Happy Valley, University of Florida/Gainesville, heck most every SEC school for that matter, Cornell University/Ithaca, etc.) The towns often grow around the universities. The schools bring in events that the towns otherwise would never have (concerts/plays/art exhibits/speakers/etc) not to mention college sports. You have some of the best and brightest, including students, faculty, researchers, doctors, in a confined local area. Education and diversity are valued. The universities are often the biggest employer in town, pay well, and attract lots of companies and people who benefit from the symbiotic relationship. You have people from all different walks of life. And usually the cost of living is reasonable. All in all, usually pretty good places to live.
This is reddit copypasta. Change the name of the famous person and insert whomever.
They will lie, deny, stonewall, and there will be no repercussions nor change.
I’ve seen instances in the private sector where making too wide a turn and hitting a car, or a minor fender bender, or getting a moving violation of any kind gets a person immediately fired. No administrative leave with pay. No hearing. No union to pay legal bills to fight the cause of the accident or legality of the ticket. It’s way past time for accountability for the blue wall.
People don’t like Rick Scott but he spent enough of his money to get elected. And Bloomberg is 50 fold wealthier. And Bloomberg seems much more personable. So I don’t know.
Oooh good point and hard agree.
“Alberta’s young working population and more jobs with higher wages has resulted in Albertans over-contributing tens of billions into the CPP compared to the benefits we’ve received,” states a Government of Alberta video promoting the creation of an Alberta pension plan.
Aren’t the high wages (and young people) predominately because oil/gas? Are those not national natural resources?
Thanks for exporting that south of the border. Or wait, is it thanks for importing that from south of the border? Either way, we all pay.

My very good friend, third or fourth generation American but 100% Mexican descent, maybe or maybe not got a little smart with the border agent. We did have to wait a few extra minutes for him in the parking lot on the US side. Meanwhile, the Middle Eastern international student with us had zero issues and whipped out two cans of beer out of his pockets while we waited. If you’re out there Fahad, you rock!
Yes, very much so. And essentially the whole of the US eastern seaboard and a lot of the western seaboard (where it’s beach and not cliffs). However, many are second and third homes that people can afford to lose, so I don’t know if sea rise provides the proper amount of impetus for change. But I do know some people who have or who are planning to sell waterfront properties in anticipation of possibly being stuck with worthless or non-existent property, so maybe. But they are mostly people for whom the loss while not poverty-inducing, would be a major financial hit.
In the 90’s went to TJ with some friends who attended San Diego State University. At the club we drank warm Tecate with ice cubes. There were almost naked women on trapeze swings and porn playing on TV’s throughout the venue. It was pretty wild. The police all carried assault rifles. At the end of the night there was a mass of (mostly underage) young people processing through the border. Just had to show your driver’s license to get back into the US and there were no swipe machines to validate whether the license was real (that I recall)–just had to look like your photo. You were wise to keep your head about you while in TJ, but I don’t recall feeling unsafe. (But also was young and dumb.) Do kids still go there to party?
Why so serious citizen?
