@libsoftiktok Yes, like all other property in Massachusetts now your children are state property and belong to the State it's for the "The Greater Good"
@hwinkler4real I prefer Aristotle. Plato was a rationalist. While Aristotle was a pragmatists. And while not completely without bias by far much more objective.
Also Socrates was something of a rationalist idealist.
@Mio_Mind Nope Greenland. Has always been about west hemisphere control and global security. The talk of natural resources access was all about the carrot. It's importance has always been strategic. The US has plenty of rare earths and resources. It's the refining that's objectionable.
@mradamtaylor This is long term global planning.
First the south American linchpin Venezuela securing south America, Panama and Cuba.
Next major linchpin Iran, securing and stabilizing the midd east. the petrol dollar and globa engery. And finally the Artice with Greenland.
@AtlRey Remember Julius Ceasar was given supreme authority meaning to fix the corrupt republic. Then return it to a republic. Then he crossed the Rubicon. This creating a permanent emperor.
Cincinnatus tried and failed to return rhe republic.
Fortunately Trump's a strong Federalist
@JillSweden1 Yes national free trade is great. How ever Globalism isn't. India should compete and make agreements in her best interest. US should do the same. How ever that only works well when each country is nationally productive and sovereign. Canada should do the same.
@Jennabeangood If anyone is confused about biology. That is human gender. I suggest a introductory course in molecular biology. It's incredibly fascinating and it'll clear up any confusion.
@ellismat04 1. Oil is a commodity so prices are set by the market futures.
2. The US oil is light crude and needs heavy oil to blend for refining.
So we export the light and import the heavy. This will be resolved by the new huge refinery being built. 2027-2028. First one in decades.
@jeremyct Yes this is part of how insurance works. Also if your area has an increase of damaging events, fire, storms, flooding, the area also gets reevaluate and premiums may rise.
@SamKovX Yes. This appears more a midterm legislator strategy rather than the executive branch trade policy.
The diesel prices are actually a combination of the Russian Ukrainian war and targeting refineries. And market uncertainty.
The answer is more refineries and production.
@the_jimmy_says Yes! It's called national trade. As a posed to globalization. Also capitalism as a posed to central control or socialism. But one step at a time.
@mariathies12 Being in the US illegal is a criminal act under federal law title 8 U.S.C.
Generally rectified by deportation. But this is for illegal or fraudulent entry. Over stay of visa is civil and may result in fine and/or removel.
Is behaving illegally criminal? Yes.
@mplearchipelago No use going all Thelma and Louise yet. This newly minted status of EU "associate member" is still a far cry from membership. Its more a trading block with benefits. What's a little scary is it might be an attempted workaround of the Canadian constitution towards EU member.
@JosephFordCotto I personally have a great affection for Canada. The 51st state thing is just a troll. No one actually took that seriously. It was ment as a dig at the PM Justin Trudeau.
I still wear my blue Make Canada Great hat. It's hoping that Canada may return to being non-globalist.
@the_jimmy_says If Canada could brake from globalization and build its national industrial and oil refinery capacity it mostly return to a top tier economic power.
@MorseReport Canada's EU "associate membership" appears to be more a form of trading block with benefits. Fortunately Canada's constitution makes full membership
a practical implausibility.
I hope this newly mint status isn't a workaround to subverting Canada's sovereignty.
