Having Kids at twenty or younger, without a commited significant other is Economic Suicide; all of your attention is on survival not success.
Nah they just incorporate in the Cayman Island.
A lot of European countries do, or did have Guest Worker programs, I could see that being a usefull safety valve for Mexico and Central America, it would certainly be better than what's happening now.
My state has a law that any employee can demand to be paid in legal tender, so should we assume any employer paying cash is comitting fraud, I mean fraud other than a bounched pay check the week before Christmass.
When I was in the US Army, I was a Hawk Missile and Launcher repairer, and work in IGLE, Internal Guidance and Launch Equipment back in 1974-78 and I can say with pretty good authority that the technology available in that era required pretty much constant maintence. The Guidance packages was all electron tubes except for one transistor, the microwave reciever was klystron based so everything drifted constantly. When something drifted out f spec it's not amatter of twisting a reostat either, you have to take it apart, unsolder a fixed resistor, and replace with a resistor of different value, potentiometers would never hold their value durring launch G's or after bouncing acrost the grond on top of a tracked vehicle. It's highly unlikely that the rebels could have just stubled upon a lost or abandoned weapon system and have gotten it working with out highly trained support personnel and operators. It takes a lot of finesse to work the old stuff, modern systems just work or not.
You do realise that US satelite scrutiny of the area is extremely intense, we saw the heat signatures of the launch, we have radar tracks of the missile trajectories, It's just a matter of analysing the data, figuring out who in the area, and putting everything together in a way that doesn't reveal classified capabilities.
Consider if your car had a black box, which it should. But in addition to collecting the data was transmitting that information continuously to the government for them to peruse any time they wanted.

EU is in a sticky situation, they're pretty dependant on Russian natural gas, they're pretty dependant on natural gas pipe lines running through the Ukrane, Russians are pretty dependant on Ukranian warm water seaports; lots of inter-dependancies to make things complicated. Personally I think Obama didn't create strong US sanctions against Russia because he doesn't have the balls and Putin knows it.
Air traffic control had declaired the area safe for commercial air tarffic.
I'm a anthropogening Climate Change Sceptic, one more flamebait wouldn't have made any difference.
Oil and coal are rarely interchangable so I'm not sure why you would think one affects the other. Now if you said that European Diesel prices go up when American petrolium refineries switch over from diesel to heating fuel oil production in the fall, that would be understandable.
Or a 50x50 mile stretch of Arizona if you felt like powering the entire peak demand of the US with it.
You say that like somebody wouldn't object to destroying 2500 square mile of fragile desert enviroment full of threatened and endangered plants and animals.
Since Asia is the World's largest net emitter of CO2, where do you propose we start?
Let's see everything wrong with the survey, just 250 households. How where the people selected. How much of a cross section was there. Was it per capita energy usage or simply per household usage (per household), difference between a person living on their own and say a family of five. A far right wing government commissioned the survey how biased were they in the selection. Some were monitored for a full year some only for one month, no clarification on summer winter split. No clarification on meals, home cooked or takeaway or restaurant (hidden energy usage) Also clothes washing, how much done in house, how much an laundrette and how much professionally cleaned (hidden energy usage). Study included rented and owned properties but did not differentiate between the two. There was a large north south divide hence different climatic conditions.
So it's a whole lets come up with a bullshit report to slander climate change and make it seem acceptable to do nothing about it.
The original "97% of climate Scientists agree" consenseus came from a 77 person population; so while your point is well taken, but needs to be applied more universally.
