Makes a sense in a pre-industrial pre-citizenship world. The broad idea is that you establish that the people voting on things are members of the community to be impacted. That way you don’t have transient people impacting the outcomes of elections.
The real question is why the hell is a governor engaging in international trade or diplomacy? Art. 1 Sec 8.
College students can be eligible for SNAP & HUD.
9/10 sovereign citizens are victims. 1/10 are charlatans selling a fiction to those in dire need of a way out of legal trouble.
Put musk in the title so people with filters don’t have to be reminded.
All liberty is guarded by four boxes. The soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box. They are in order.
Political violence is largely a terrible idea that results in continued suffering or retribution. People online flock to it as a remedy and often aren’t fully aware of the structure of their local government. The best means of change are by convincing locals of a better alternative that is amiable to all parties. Online activism has a broader net but ultimately reaches less people in positions likely to be able to remedy local matters. Carrot beats stick.
Yeah that’s how it works.
Other comments in this thread reflect a lack of appreciation for the prior system. Once upon a time the king’s men could arrest legislators unfavorable to him to bar unfavorable legislation. Today we have legislation barring the arrest of representatives while the house is in session.
Do you know the name of the member of your state’s House of Representatives that represents your district? When was the last time you spoke to your federal representative? Do he/she not answer your calls because they have to many constituents? Talk to people in your neighborhood about the need for more representatives in the house.
All sovereign power comes from the people. Read: you are that guy.
I agree with the sentiment on Gulf of Americas. But I think the singular (and referring to land of both continents) makes more sense. Firstly because it rolls off the tongue better. Secondly because the existence of the ‘North America’ and ‘South America’ both imply that those lands are parts of a larger body of land called America. North America being the Northern half of America. While South America presides in the Southern half.
‘America’ being the United States is only reinforced by the fact that the United States is the most significant nation in global politics East of the Pacific and West of the Atlantic.
Good on OP for seeking challenges to their existing view points and being open to changing them upon compelling enough thoughts. In a genuine way no less.
Off the top of my head the only European food product I consistently buy is Kerrygold butter. But I could use a domestic version. Other than that I’ll on rare occasion buy a wine that’ll be from Italy or France rather than a domestic.
The only international foods that really make up any significant part of my grocery list are fruits from the tropics.
Don’t buy land with an easement you don’t want on it. You can tell the seller to talk to the company and have them negotiate the removal of the easement as a condition of sale. They might be willing to buy back the mineral rights.
But barring that if this is a non-negotiable for you don’t buy it.
Because eggs are seen as a very reasonable weekly purchase that a consumer can see a price delta in over a short period of time.

Adultery is still a crime in some places. Make sure yours isn’t one of them. I’d say just in general CYOA this reeks of ending poorly.
Realistically if we accept the idea of Canada joining the US they’d likely join as their current provinces (then states).
This would allow Canadians to have a voice in US elections which currently have large political implications for the nation.
I don’t see Quebec joining the US. Current Canadian law grants them protections the US wouldn’t be willing to match. They’d likely become independent.
Despite Canadian identity being based on not being Americans there are large cultural similarities (given English structural roots).
If it were to occur Canada would likely get some consideration like the preservation of their healthcare system (a point of national pride) and a period for other states to join in on it.
The US would be more blue politically but I would expect catering to northern provinces given they’d have disproportionately high representation.
If any store decides I need to ask an employee to read the nutritional facts on the back of a can of soup I will never shop there.
The solution isn’t locks it’s fixing the underlying problem.
Every year about 8,000 people file their cases for cert at the Supreme Court. Each year they grant cert on about 80. Roughly 1/1000 odds. Those about 8,000 cases include cases that have also previously filed in past years without cert.
Amicus briefs are not uncommon. They often don’t grant cert when there are no novel legal questions. The Supreme Court simply doesn’t not have the ability to hear every appeal. Them not granting cert in any case should not be taken as a dispositive.
