The supreme court struck down the refusal to disperse welfare payments to new residents as unconstitutionally restricting freedom to travel. I gurantee you that taxing new residents would be struck down for the exact same reason. >After

In addition to recovery taking much longer, there are likely far more than 15k people who have been infected but haven't been to the hospital since the majority of cases aren't serious.

I thought that could be the case, but since I'd mentioned Washington and Lafayette I leaned towards Hamilton being the intended reference. As for Alexander the Great he was probably a general as a teenager, but he falls squarely in the

And then we've just kicked the can down to the road a generation or so. Whatever problems you think more privately owned land will solve today, will just be waiting for us tomorrow.

The term teenager is a modern construct, but the idea of a time period where someone is no longer a child but not yet a full adult is ancient. In some pre-modern cultures even though a 14 year-old could work, they couldn't inherit, hol
