I agree this is stupid but I haven't seen any figures on internal tourism, which would also be taxed. They have theme parks and nature, Miami and a lot of grandparents living there, so might still be a lot of tourism from other states going on now. Although as Americans get pooreer the percentage of people that can afford is getting smaller.

Scaring people into voting for you has proven a smart move lately

Didn't they just start charging £14 for visiting the UK? They are certainly not coming across as very inviting to individuals.

Advertising a product isn't the same as recommending a product, both are a form of marketing but not the same thing. That aside, I would have preferred if the title of text of the post would say something like 'this brand sells European bags, i like them, what companies also sell European bags' so it becomes a conversation rather than a notification.

84% as of right now, voyager on android shows it by default I believe.

To be honest I am really surprised, but then again maybe I had expected the provinces to be less like states in the us than provinces here in the Netherlands (where they are more a way of organising the government rather than a powerful government layer).

But you also get new features over time, although they are mainly cosmetic and don't necessarily improve the functionality.

I know right, I'm surprised there are so many people here who don't appear to get that. If I look at the image I assume the seller of this pair of shoes just slapped a buzzword on but vegan shoes and clothing are a thing and since when is everything that is not vegan carnivorous? Cheese and honey are also neither, right.

I did not know and did not expect there would be trade barriers between Canadian provinces

I'm not saying the system is what you should be more grateful of, but minimum wages were fought for by people who didn't earn enough to pay for their basic needs. They acts as flood gates against greedy employers. Doesn't mean the rest of the system is worth appreciating.

The need for lowering the price of goods doesn't change when there would be a basic income, but you are right people are more willing to accept a low wage of they are threatened by starvation and homelessness, a basic income will definitely be a good thing for people who currently are earning a low wage.

 

Nine Red Crescent crew members were missing for a week after they came under Israeli fire in Rafah.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) says 15 bodies have been found in Rafah, southern Gaza, a week after its first responders came under heavy fire from Israeli forces.

The PRCS said on Sunday that eight of the bodies have been identified as PRCS members, six as members of the Civil Defence, and one as a UN agency employee. One PRCS first responder is still missing.

The group said the those killed “were targeted by the Israeli occupation forces while performing their humanitarian duties as they were heading to the Hashashin area of Rafah to provide first aid to a number of people injured by Israeli shelling in the area”.

“The occupation’s targeting of Red Crescent medics … can only be considered a war crime punishable under international humanitarian law, which the occupation continues to violate before the eyes of the entire world.”

In an earlier statement the Red Crescent said the bodies “were recovered with difficulty as they were buried in the sand, with some showing signs of decomposition”.

PRCS President Younis al-Khatib condemned Israel for targeting its paramedics as they “fulfil their humanitarian mission”.

“Those souls are not mere numbers. If this incident [happened] anywhere else, the whole world would have moved heaven and earth to expose this war crime,” al-Khatib said on Sunday.

 

The Netherlands has issued a new warning to Dutch citizens considering travel to the United States if they are gay, lesbian, transsexual, or another gender or sexual minority. The Dutch government also warned, "The US government has tightened entry controls for foreign visitors," echoing similar concerns raised by other countries, including the United Kingdom and Germany, in messages to their citizens.

Quite some of the companies in these three lists are American so they might not be the best eu alternatives, but still wanted to share these three lists.
