      Did you know the drinking age in Louisana was 18 until Katrina hit? Then Bush and the government at large told them if you want assassitance raise you drinking age to 21.

        That’s in order to receive federal highway money if I recall correctly. Probably desperately needed that money right after Katrina though so that checks out. Was still trivial to drink underage when I was there years and years ago

                  US I was denied financial aid for fall semester because my legal partner makes too much money.

                  Edit: Oh yeah I’m old. Kinda don’t know how useful I’d be to any of these organizations honestly.

    Cuba responded before anyone else did with food, aid supplies, and doctors, and were promptly turned away by the US.

      (Spoiler: they were thugs hired by robber barrons used to murder striking workers)

            Well, if Hawaii didn’t want to get invaded, it shouldn’t have put itself in an ideal defensive location for the USA in the pacific, it’s their fault really

      Mexicanos al grito de guerra
      El acero aprestad y el bridón
      Y retiemble en sus centros la tierra
      Al sonoro rugir de el cañón
