I’m waiting for the I started enacting this bill that hasn’t even gone through the legislature yet, with the claims of “I needed to speed up the process”. Similar to the other article someone posted about the Senate not needing to approve cabinet positions because it will save time.
Why does that say they don’t have U.S. citizenship? They are natural U.S. citizens. Also U.S. appointed governor sounds a fishy title for a governor that is voted on by only the citizens of Puerto Rico. So yes they are “U.S. appointed” but the U.S. citizens appointing them are the residents of Puerto Rico.
President Obama also went there and said he would support whatever they chose https://web.archive.org/web/20230124035101/https://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/15/us/politics/15obama.html
Note: it may also be the easiest way to get a U.S. citizenship that many overlook. I have seen somewhere you can get a citizenship in PR with only 1 year of residency.
As for racism, yes that will exist for a few generations likely even after statehood, wish we could fix that but we backtracked a lot lately there it seems.
I assume they submitted the results and stated they need to be removed, then reviewed the supreme courts measure that stated they only have power to make measures if Congress grants them privilege to do so (precidence, set in Julyish of 2022 with the EPA) making the specialized divisions of government created by Congress illegitimate unless Congress votes on the measure afterwards, making them just superficial recommendations for Congress to wait and see what their lobbyists think is okay.
Aka will drug companies pay enough to keep us lying to the public, vs maybe we will go by the recorded data.
Exon mobile recorded their data of environmental impacts in what year? And we had battery powered vehicles traveling up to 100 miles before that time. Instead of doing what was best for the future of the people, we chose what was best for profits.

Point being. what power did they have to remove them from the shelves. I assume they are launching these last ditch efforts before Biden leaves, and praying to get some support before they get chiseled away at.
Imagine where we would be if GM/Ford and such started forcing the R&D in 1975 instead of 2005, 2015 or whatever we call it now
I believe Puerto Rico chose to not become a state most of the last 20 years. 2012 was the last real vote I remember. 55% or such wanted to become a state. But it was a small part of the population. 5% voted for independence. They are the world’s oldest colony if I remember (Guam same time). End of the Spanish Civil War in 1898.
We joined WW2 because a territory like Puerto Rico was attacked. I’m not sure why people liked Hawaii so much more other than propaganda tied to it having a good military base location. Also, not saying people shouldn’t have liked Hawaiins, just that clearly our view of the two territories is drastically different. I could almost guarantee the support percentage drops even more if it came to defending the people in Guam. Most people don’t even remember they are a territory, more remember part of Semoa than Guam around me
My dad went on a rant how Puerto Ricans are all lazy and just grift off the system to live off benefits. His only grandkids are born to a Puerto Rican, who passed the bar becoming a lawyer. (Prior to having kids with my only sibling)
Throw in that “no black people can raise kids”, and it was enough for me to cut contact.
Someone used to tell me one of the largest exports of Panama City Beach when I lived there was mulch. They would ship it to China for fuel apparently. Never would have thought about a smaller town shipping trees half a world away… Talk about inefficient.
So we built big tanks with a lever system like a piston on your car. Fill the left piston with water. With a small hole in the middle. For flow. If you do the math right you get the horse to walk up the stairs and stand on that piston(header really) the water drops slowly all day forced out of the hole spinning a turbine translating to electricity, preferably a battery. Horse never has to go down stairs thankfully, just back up the stairs to the other side. Moving from one side~ 3 meters every 12 hours should do it.
Basically, horse bed one side. Horse day lounge area other
I suppose if the product in unnecessary, that would make sense. Required imports would stay selling at same prices until manufacturing plants elsewhere could be built for cheap enough to not just pay the tariffs. : /
Nothing except market manipulation
China likely to reciprocate against the tariffs, why? They only hurt us, and help them. Placing Tariffs in the other direction makes their prices rise in their country, that doesn’t help them. They keep more industries by keeping prices low
Open the box and it’s individually wrapped like a Kraft cheese slice. You can buy them in stacks. MCKeto-Stackers. Buy 2 get one McKetoGangbang for full price!
That’s just chicken patty, cheese ketchup/mustard, burger patty and another chicken patty.
Fucking own that Keto McDiet menu. How do you think creepy the clown stays so fit there.
McDouble. ( 2.49) Bun 2x patties 1x cheese slice 2x pickles Diced onions Ketchup, mustard
McKeto. (4.49) 2x patties 1 cheese slice Ketchup mustard
Gotta pay extra for them to take their ingredients back and hit it with that cooler name
A whole lot of “not state rights” are coming
Man, they could even keep the pickles or the onions, I woulda be fine with 2 Patties and 1 slice of cheese. Shit they could keep the bun and Id call it McKeto
Wait, when was there free food? I got shafted and didn’t get the food?
The lowest energy costs are in solar and renewables, which he has promised to slash all investments that Biden put into place for those. So energy costs would go up long term…not down. Also the impact on the environment will be more for fossil fuels so it will cost more to clean up long term. (more expensive, not cheaper)
As for cutting taxes on Social Security, what is it going to do? He’s also mentioned cut backs to social security, but we haven’t seen any numbers for it, so we don’t know yet. We do know Obama tried to up the the salary limit for minimum wage for overtime requirements from 23,000 to over 47k but the courts blocked it. Then Trump set it at 35k. Biden has upped it to 55,000. Trump has said he wants to bring that back down. You know, because all those hard working Americans who make 40k a year don’t deserve to make overtime I guess.
If your referring to the fox trot you are correct. I take the electric slide the best I can
I hope so. No one should travel without proper protection. It’s like not using a condom with people you don’t know. You may hurt them, or they may hurt you. And by hurt I mean murder them and their families.
The first year will be him living off Bidens reduction of inflation. EVERY policy Trump has discussed increases prices. So we will have hyper inflation.
Name One policy he has discussed that will cut costs in his 4 years please.
What part is good? That he vowed to force ownership into U.S. hands for security reasons, or that now he vowed to stop himself?
