I don't think you understand how vaccines work. Think of it this way, putting on a bulletproof vest can prevent you from getting shot, but it can't prevent someone from shooting at you.

It would be a disturbing irony if these celebrations result in a wave of unwanted preganacies which will then end up being terminated.

It's objectively better for it to be legal than illegal, from a public health perspective. But people celebrating like they won the World Cup is what I don't get. I mean, they're having a party about gaining the legal right to chop up a baby. When euthanasia is eventually legalized, are there...

That's a bizarre comparison, and not a very good deal when taking into account the tax rate and the cost of living in VT, and the fact that there's nothing there except for Ben & Jerry's and Bernie Sanders...

Even if you aren't from Chicago (or the US) you may be able to get a digital library card for audiobooks. Enter any Chicago address, its very ulikely they'll bother verifying it. https://www.chipublib.org/news/get-a-library-card-online/

I wonder if the troops who the House just told must stay in Afghanistan forever will get a stimulus check to help pay for their prosthetic limbs. "[T]he bill that would [...] place restrictions on U.S. troop withdrawals from Afghanistan and Europe."...

The House of Representatives passed their what? Your sentence is missing an object as well as punctuation. And WTF are you talking about? Try looking at the date of the posts you are replying to next time, Nostradamus.

I already adressed that. Now I can't tell if you're debating me or debating yourself.

Interesting. Flights were only 400USD a few weeks ago, and cheaper to Cartagenta. You sometimes can book Avianca flights though United's website and possibly get a slighty better fare with more flexibility. Colombia is allowing everyone in, but it's also having a surge in cases, and Medellin...

No, I said the Mexican American community, the majority of whom are not "illegal." Cubans until recently had a clearer path to citizenship because of the "wet feet, dry feet policy." But my original comment was about comparing economic mobility between different immigrant groups, not about...

No, I've actually done research on this. As far a other Latino groups, they are behind Puerto Ricans (who have the advantage of being US citizens) and well behind Cubans, for instance.

Yes, Poblacht na hÉireann. The six occupied counties in the north are included in the UK's ranking, which is 13th, and falling.

This is what leadership looks like. https://www.jpost.com/health-science/netanyahu-to-kick-off-israels-covid-19-vaccination-campaign-on-saturday-652628

Which is the exit form/declaracion required to leave? I can only find the one for entering. Thanks in advance.

Joe Public? No. Mostly academics. However they are helpful for anyone contemplating "expatting" to a particular country. I found it particularly interesting that Ireland has jumped up to #2, putting it virtually level with Switzerland.

Well, if it's good enough for Oliver Stone.. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/oliver-stone-hopeful-after-receiving-russian-covid-19-vaccine

If only work ethic alone were enough to lift people out of poverty. Mexicans, including those who are first or second generations US citizens, comparatively have some of the worst rates of upward mobility among all other immigrant groups, and a large number of them aren't even immigrants, per...

I wonder what the actual numbers are, but from my recent experience at a major US university, it seems far less significant that the brain drain coming South Asia. There is a lot of social and family pressure to get educated then established in the US in order to bring the rest their families...

"In terms of Latin America, Argentina is above the average (0.766) and is second in the regional ranking below Chile, which occupies position 43 (with a value of 0.851). It is followed by Uruguay, in position 55 (with a value of 0.817)."...
