But if you’re looking at an American choosing a language based on potential job opportunities, Spanish is likely going to offer far more upside than French unless that American has certain ties which would make French more relevant to them. For large parts of the USA, knowing Spanish will be more locally relevant than knowing French.

It isn’t saying that French is a bad language for Americans to learn, but that most of the country would likely see Spanish as more economically useful.

But we’re talking about economic utility. Quebec isn’t Canada; it is much smaller.

In contrast, Mexico has a GDP near Canada as a whole and there isn’t a bilingual legal framework to support business deals. Furthermore, there are more Spanish speaking countries to make deals with in the Western Hemisphere; the closest that French has is Haiti.

Quebec isn’t Canada.

Having to get documents translated is a cost of doing business in Canada. You don’t have to speak both languages to conduct business in Canada.

They could, if they were economically relevant on the continent. Spanish and Portuguese are far more relevant when interfacing with international trade in the Western Hemisphere.

I pointed out cultural reasons for maintaining a language as well. The USA, as a country, has no current cultural reason to have portions of the country maintain a different language.

It hasn’t really been an economic necessity or cultural priority like other countries.

Most countries who have a population who speak more than one language usually either have a variety of languages spoken within/near the country or rely on ESL speakers to participate in the international workforce.

With English being the current lingua franca, Americans already know the current dominant language. There is really only one major language which is relevant to neighbors, but Americans are usually in the more dominant economic position and there is a cultural aversion to adopting Spanish more.

I also feel like the problem with starting with Marx and getting into socialism as a government type is that Marx was an economist writing about economic forces while a lot of his work has been coopted into political theory.

Which makes discussions on government structure hard with a lot of leftists because once you remove discussing the economics of a society, having a discussion on political freedoms only becomes very problematic.

For instance, I saw some English speaking communists discussing a Chinese analysis of their government, which the analysis states that the Chinese government isn’t a democracy. It is true, China would describe itself as a technocracy, with trained political leaders in charge who are shielded from disruptive democratic whims. However, you could see the issue of them accepting that political power should be held only by elites.

He lived in Scottsdale. He should have Loop 101 instead.

Messy urban warfare.

Assuming cooperation with the Mexican government, the USA would likely launch several raids against cartel strongholds similar to the Maduro raid. Whether the cartel leaders are brought to justice or just immediately assassinated is up for grabs, but I expect several extrajudicial killings.

The situation will devolve as the power vacuum causes additional killings including some punishing of the Mexican federal government. This destabilization is likely going to require an occupation; I expect that the USA would want Mexico to fill those posts first but may get pulled in as the Mexican military runs out of logistical capacity and the US military has to start filling in more and more gaps.

At a point, the war against the cartels becomes viewed as an American occupation instead of an internal Mexican action and it causes the population to turn against both federal governments.

I think it has to do more with experience in the USA.

For a large part of the USA, Mexicans are the dominant immigrant group. Americans also have the most experience with portions of Mexican cuisine that they don’t have with other regions. So, people hear Latin American and auto complete to Mexican because that is what they know.

My mother believes we dont need an external help and that i can do it by myself as if its my problem

If you throw something out, what happens? Does your mom complain? Does she fill the space with something else?

Also, what kind of stuff is it? Specifically, how close to garbage is it?

Yeah. If you’re Donald Ducking it, you’re likely going to have problems getting to the store.

Yeah. You have a large number of attractive and poor people trying to get prestigious roles and a few gatekeepers who know they can get what they want from at least some of them.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a human was cloned. The issue right now seems to be resolving the ethical issues over the technical ones.

Stargate SG1

Various forms of mental deterioration cause a lot of the elderly to lose their abilities they had when they were younger. Old people doing dumb things is a rather common tragedy.

Looks like he is getting Palm Beach Airport, which is fitting.

Her birthday is close enough.

Yeah, but if the people who are hired to review grants are checking for DEI, are they smart enough to understand what they’re reading?

I kind of dread people celebrating me, usually in part because the times around that celebration are busy and stressful for me so I can do the performative gratitude that people expect when it happens.

Then it devolves into conversations of what is wrong with you (why are you broken) or what is wrong with this (why do you hate me).

Oh, I try keeping my friends away from her.
