Having visited in 2019, it was incredibly clean. They charged just a standard transient occupancy tax of I wanna say a few euros a day. But that’s multiplied by 24 million annual visitors staying for multiple nights each. I need to read this article when I get home and see what the new funds are earmarked for, because I remember being happy with everything from cleanliness to safety to transit while I was there.

Republicans never argue in good faith, and bending over backwards to give them what they want just shows them they can demand even worse terms next time.

just thinking logistically, I imagine that happened a lot. Anyway I expect a decent number of his calls were made by aides and he just took the phone after they got through to the right person.

“we are going to continue building our revolution, despite the tightening of the blockade”

I haven’t been following Cuba at all, can someone more knowledge expand on this? Has the US tightened the sanctions on Cuba? I thought we loosened them during the Obama years?

Thanks for the link, I don’t see anything in there about the US “tightening” anything, though?

Guess it’s just a case of using hyperbolic language.

US Common Law directly traces its lineage to English Common Law, which in turn has its roots in Anglo-Saxon law. Courts still occasionally cite centuries old English legal cases.

Justice Alito cited the 13th century English legal treatise De Legibus et Consuetudinibus Angliae when he allowed states to ban abortion so I guess it’s pretty inspiring.

Lol so true. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s an almost 800 year old citation being used by the majority opinion of the highest court in the land.

Talk about precedent.

Depends on the job field. I was combat arms, and I’d say it was around 50-60%

From my limited experience with non combat arms people, it seemed lower among them.
