Because it would be more complicated to develop US only and EU only variants. Speaking from direct professional experience.

Well, then maybe we will be cured of the republican problem when boomers die and younger conservatives sacrifice their children to their emperor via antivaxxing.

Nature always finds a way.

Very few manufacturing facilities for the US would not also carry European approval. Generally speaking you can expect the medication to be as safe as it was before.

Obviously some firms perform better than others at inspections and not all drugs are in all markets… But it won’t be the wild west.

I naturally draw a distinction between city employees and elected officials.

I’m sort of the school of thought that transparency of who they are and conflicts of interest should be a given. Release of tax returns, etc.

Why are we worried about doxxing elected officials? Shouldn’t they self-doxx as a matter of principle?

Or Radical Christian Terrorists

Still doesn’t feel good to get fired and get an unemployment check with all sort of conditions attached, just because some company decided to clean up operations after hiring way too much.

Non sequitur to my point, but to what you wrote… I would support that any bailouts come with the condition that 50%+ of the share capital is given to a Sovereign Fund. There should be no corporate welfare… Only investment opportunities.

You must fly domestic?

Had a situation where an alliance partner got me to the long haul carrier late, missed the flight. The alliance partner (united) was responsible for rebooking-- offered me a downgrade in service class that same day and an added connection or next day on the original airline, class, and number of connections.

Note the “next day, maintain service” option was not coming with a hotel voucher. Work trip, they paid the hotel, but god forbid it was someone who didn’t work for a large mnc…

This was also due to weather so, “deal with it, because Jesus wanted it this way” prevailed in the contract of carriage.

US Citizens that reside in Puerto Rico.

France will review your company’s ledger if you want to fire people en masse. If you can afford to keep them you can’t fire them

You aren’t correct. https://www.fvap.gov/citizen-voter/voting-residence

You generally need to have established residency in a state at some point in your life, but there is zero requirement to spend any time there if you live abroad in order to retain your voting rights. Several states allow children who have been born overseas the right to vote at their parents last US address.

However, because Puerto Rico is part of the United States, residents there (even if you retired there after living in New York your entire life) fall under the rules for Puerto Rico.

So, you can live in Mexico as a US Citizen, permanently, and retain voting rights in your last state… Or you can live in Puerto Rico and lose the ability to vote for president.

If you don’t understand it, isn’t it useless to you???

Also. Welcome to the fucking internet where not everything needs to be 100% serious.

Maybe not always, but there are plenty of senators who are fundamentally there for life (McConnell).

This also means theres a lower chance for those who truly can’t be bought, because running a nationwide campaign is expensive. They will all need money–most of it from corporate. Could you imagine Citizens United being decided by an elected court?

The one advantage would be that the court would more rapidly match the public’s views, and not take decades to move along with the country… But we still elected a raving lunatic like trump.

I think Bidens proposals strike a reasonable balance; a 5-7 year elected term I fear forces more money into the equation and doesn’t give any opportunity to fix the thing.

Which makes them incapable of being bought? Look at any senator you care to.

Kagen, Sotomayor, Coney Barrett.

Just depends how unique the persons name is. Nobody called Janet Reno just plain old Janet.

How many washing machines

Or maybe just good guys with Li-ion batteries.

I’m not sure how you just build a pool that doesn’t leak and can hold the weight of the water…

Oh no think of all the taxes they suddenly won’t be paying.
