All the paintings look like someone just cranked up random photoshop filters

The street sort of counts too. Licensing requires them to stop for accidents, etc

We’re also not talking about taxes just for residency. The federal government doesn’t collect property taxes. I’m just trying to say there is some effort to not burden them unduly with taxes. Do I think they should become a state: yes; barring that do I think they should they be excluded from entitlements: no. The issue of statehood is complicated. Historically referendums in Puerto Rico have failed. At least some are happy with the status quo

There is an attempt to conform to the taxation/representation issue, but it’s never going to be 100%. Non-citizens and foreign entities are going to be subject to certain taxes within the US as well.

• slap together chart, cherrypicking
• Gloat

Spanish in other places, too—piña colada, anyone?

The takeaway here is, the rest of the world uses different words than the continents where it comes from

Spanish conveniently missing

My cousin was given his mother’s maiden name as a middle name when he joined the navy

It might work. Sentences can be subjective, and it probably isn’t going to hurt. Why not try. Same reason people dress up for court: suit, tie—everything they wouldn’t normally wear

I’m not going to fault anyone for typos. I fight my phone’s autocorrect all the time, but it was odd that just those two letters were transposed
