Well Jo - Hegel is only marginally easier l than Kant in the original - still have to be read with a ruler to find the verbs โค๏ธ

Or rather maybe "Real Estate, Real Estate, Real Estate" - on top of my head - I think it was The Thin Red line - one of the characters says it all about equity โค๏ธ

"t is worth asking, however, who is protected by anonymity. Several scholars
have argued that masking a place protects the scholar more than it does the research
participants (Duneier, 2001; Jerolmack & Murphy, 2019; S. R. Khan, 2012)." that is just a brilliant observation โค๏ธ

I mean it topped out below 40% at the hits level - I need to look at other countries - I guess it depends on the actual age group asked

In other words the markets would already have backed this in - very predictiable and nobody should be surprised โค๏ธ

All over the world the primary sector works the same way - argue free markets and low taxes, while at the same time take handouts from government. This is not a U.S. problem it's the same all over the west - undoubtedly farming etc should be protected when unpredictable things happen โค๏ธ

#Ukrainian Defender Roman was taken into Russian captivity on February 24, 2022, at Chornobyl NPP.

Roman is finally home and was able to hug his kids.

His eldest son couldn't stop crying with joy. What the family has lived through in these 3,5 years...

Personally I think that the US population as a whole should be - in a clock work orange - way forced to listing to the entirety of "Hannah Arendt - on Lying and Politics" - it would make you a better country โค๏ธ
