You’re not getting the point. The USA is a single country. All of its citizens are to be treated equally. And all of its foreign affairs are handled by the one federal government. The EU is a very complicated collection of many individual c

How would they do that given US states do not have citizens or passports?
933.
by erentz 8y ago
In that case there should be no such thing as a Croatian passport or a Polish passport. Or Croatian citizenship (etc.). Feels like there’s a fair bit of eating cake and having it too going on here.

This is the only correct answer. Anyone using the school as a prop in a campaign to prevent widening of the highway is essentially arguing it is fine for the school to stay where it is if the highway is not widened. This is simply untrue.

Only the article is incorrect as pointed out in my other comments down voted comments. And this does matter because it changes a lot of the tone and basis of the article. Sure there was some building of some sort there back in their 196

Others have asserted it was there first on the basis of the aerial photograph of a building in the same location. But as I have linked Harriet Tubman school was clearly, 100% created on that spot in 1982. Now if that repurposed an old pre

This article says it opened in 1982 as well [1]. And quoting from the original article “...that prompted Tubman’s creation in the 1980s, ...until..advocates got their way and Tubman was built, the school district bussed thousands of black c

It shows a photo. And used that as the basis for the claim. But the article I linked which is long and gives a lot of the story of the school states a number of times it was created in the 1980s. I don’t know if it was repurposed from an ol

Schools (and lots of things) shouldn’t be built next to freeways. It appears [1] this school was created in the 1980s long after that freeway existed. It was closed in 2012. Then reopened last year. Perhaps the whole school should be moved

> 2 years of labor [4160 hours] for 2300 people @ 35/hr It says 2,300 jobs created over 18-24 months but not the duration of those jobs so we have to be careful assuming that’s 4160 hours per job.

That’s not double taxation. The federal government takes X% of the total. The state government takes Y% of the total. They’re aware of each other. They can coordinate accordingly. Avoidance of double taxation is not accomplished with a dedu

I’ve not understood this and am strangely on the side of removing all deductions. Why should anyone pay less federal tax than a person living across the border just because you pay tax to your state? If you don’t like it and think the other

Maybe. But it’s still a mystery as to why they stole it, where were they going to take it and what was going to become of it.

I don’t see how they the presence of those legal immigrants is causing the US to stop taking care of its infrastructure or providing services like health care, etc. Your claim is a bit of a stretch and is the kind of typical nationalistic n

There’s a bunch of conjecture there, it doesn’t say what these arguments against it are. It doesn’t allow someone to argue for it and test to see if they remain persuaded when the idea is also defended. And in saying “most people don’t know

This comparison is flawed if it excludes those who have to wait indefinitely due to not having sufficient coverage. Put those in and wait times wouldn’t look so great in the US anymore.

They’re also stupid because they perpetuate this meaningless idea that things can’t be done because of “politics”. Quote: “But most also said plans that eliminate it now are politically infeasible.” Three years ago Medicare for All was “pol

Sort of. These reactors produce too much of the wrong isotopes of plutonium to make a good bomb. It’ll turn out to have about 100th the yield or so. But that assumes we’d ever want to give out spent fuel to Europe, Russia, Japan for them to

Right. It’s become a government backed bubble. Somehow we need to pop it softly. I’m sympathetic to all the current student debt holders and providing relief to them but if we do that without putting and end to these guaranteed loans we’re

It’s only useful for dirty bomb style weapons that a terrorist might make. You can’t make weapons grade plutonium from it. All plutonium used in US weapons was made in special purpose reactors at Hanford, WA. We made so much of it and have

It's twin aisle 7 abreast, sitting in between the 737 and 787 in terms of pax capacity, with no cargo capacity, that will be lighter overall, and optimized for ranges under 4,000 or 4,500 miles depending on source. So a "sorta&quo

I honestly don’t understand the process by which someone at these carriers proposed this as a product and somehow it was all approved and the carriers decided this was a good thing to do. How much revenue did selling this data provide them?

It runs up the existing Caltrain route to King St. and later to the new inconceivably badly conceived bus station they built downtown via a curvy slow tunnel under the streets.
