I’m not 100% sure, but might just need to take the Staatsexam. It’s a funny situation because registered nurses in the US go through a four- year bachelor’s, which doesn’t exist in Germany: just a trade school

a little less democracy creates a buffer against populism. Half of the legislature is chosen by the parties off a list (after winning support; sort of like voting straight-ticket). The parties make the lists, so they aren’t as likely to pick crazies as rogue voters. Then, a party has to get 5% of the votes to get a place in the assembly. Yes, the AFD has been meeting that occasionally, but, for the first reason, the real nutjobs find themselves in the lesser parties. On top of all this, the prime Minister isn’t directly elected, so a Trump (who most of his own party despises) is less likely. Germany is having problems lately; mostly with infighting and inter- party cooperation, but it’s harder for the populace to elect surprise officials

All the paintings look like someone just cranked up random photoshop filters

And who’s parking at the front, along the right facing the rest of the cars?

Who knows what the target was. A poster above said there was no detonator. He may have been transporting ir somewhere else to use

The street sort of counts too. Licensing requires them to stop for accidents, etc

We’re also not talking about taxes just for residency. The federal government doesn’t collect property taxes. I’m just trying to say there is some effort to not burden them unduly with taxes. Do I think they should become a state: yes; barring that do I think they should they be excluded from entitlements: no. The issue of statehood is complicated. Historically referendums in Puerto Rico have failed. At least some are happy with the status quo

There is an attempt to conform to the taxation/representation issue, but it’s never going to be 100%. Non-citizens and foreign entities are going to be subject to certain taxes within the US as well. At a simple level, there’s no way avoid sales taxes. People have to pay sales tax in states they can’t vote in either

That’s not true. There are technically different classifications. For example, fees are specifically not taxes.

Yes.

It also feels like it’s something different because they aren’t supposed to go into the general fund, but advance payment for specific benefits

Because they don’t tax them. Puerto Rico doesn’t pay federal taxes

That’s why they don’t pay federal taxes

Easy, they don’t pay federal taxes

And I meant that they were still making food spicy hot

They had pepper (actual, not chili).

Here’s how the creation of the graphic went:

• Create a binary
• Ignore vast majority (of people working with subject)
• slap together chart, cherrypicking
• Gloat

Spanish in other places, too—piña colada, anyone?

The takeaway here is, the rest of the world uses different words than the continents where it comes from
