I have also thought that before I moved from Mass to Oregon. Just my experience of course, but my state taxes increases 2x and everything seemed to be more expensive.

Oh yeah didn't notice. Just s/2/11/

Wishful thinking. Presidencies are always doing less than promised, never more.

Yeah that's right. That's why people used to vote for Dems. Up until this time when they proved their lack of action. How would you feel if your relatives were dying in middle East and you are the one voting in government that supports it.

What about it? Two pieces of classic propaganda

It did that and it did the opposite. Meaning it was promoting local cultures many times in it's recent history. Including right now. No other major country in the world is doing that. That all to say that Russia is not as imperialistic as it's perceived. Rather the opposite. Especially as compared to ... Well anything else

I hope that this will cause Russia and aligned countries to switch and invest into one of BSD variants. Probably won't happen, but there is hope.

Yeah I lived in Boston and never had problem with public transit, same in Europe. I guess left cost IS different and not in a good way.

How does this knowledge help me take the train safely?

Good faith? Man, you must be tripping. What good faith do you expect? I keep voting for Democrats in hope that they fix this and they just don't. Every time just talk talk talk. I'm glad you got to signal your virtue and now you going to relax in your nice suburban house while I'm going to brave the horde of sundowners to pick up my kid from daycare.

I had no idea it got so expensive. It's been ages since I had any interest eating there.

There's also kumir. It was(is?) used to teach kids how to program. I first learned programming using it many years ago. I still think that it made me a better programmer than people who were using Pascal instead. They were both popular in schools at the time.
