Isn’t this kinda already the case when you compare California to other states? In terms of subsidizing the rest of the country, not healthcare.

Not Invented Here. Basically, reinventing the wheel just so they can have full control of a project.

Duel citizenships guarantee the right to satisfaction in the ring of honour.

To be fair, it’s not like the bible is any better on women’s rights. It’s just that most modern Christians (thankfully) ignore large parts of their book. There are plenty of fundamentalist Christian groups that have just as bad, or in some cases a worse, culture of misogyny.

Romanian would be either “I’ll put my feet in it” or “I’ll put my dick in it”

Sorry, legacy code and technical debt. Please check in with us in ~2000 years or so, we might have the next minor bugfix version up by then.

Squid is also a perfectly acceptable British slang term for money.

I’m pretty sure you’re thinking of an episode of The Orville, Mad Idolatry.

Russia prefers a destroyed world over an intact one without Russia.

That much is true, but none of this is existential. If the Russian military packs up and heads home, Russia continues to exist. They don’t want to do that ofc, but obviously Russia prefers an intact world with Russia compared to a destroyed world.

Citizens may have non-citizen friends and family who are potential targets.

Honest question: are eggs going to be affected? Corn feed for chickens is mainly domestic, there’s a lot of US factory farms. I’d expect tarrifs to primarily hurt foodstuffs that are heavily mported, like avocadoes, bananas, grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, etc.

What about those on the periphery, with minimal protection from the state both before and after the fall? For them, the only real difference was the tax collector stopped showing up.

Please don’t take this as analogous to the modern day in any way. A modern village/town will break down rapidly without access to modern logistics, which was not the case then.

Isn’t that the same person? (Sorry, couldn’t resist!)
