Worth the trip to San Francisco.

Though if you go, be sure and visit; City Lights books store, Vesovio, and Spec's on the SF side, then the U.S.S. Patomic on the Oakland side, and of course Heinholds First and and Last Chance.
Then head south to San Jose to visit the Winchester House...

The European democracies have to make the right noises and play for time in the face of American MAGA abuse so that they can, firstly, rearm: and secondly, make alternative arrangements so they're no longer as exposed to and reliant on US companies.

I can’t help thinking that when, in future, people ask what UK political leaders said as it became undeniable that US saw European liberal democracy as its no1 strategic foe, Starmer and others will regret that the answer is “not much, shuffled awkwardly, looked at their feet”.

Imports may be imported to Puerto Rico from any nation on a ship flagged in any nation.

The Jones Act only restricts cargo moving between U.S. ports.

Do you really think lower wages, no benefits, no environmental laws and no labor rights are the best plan?
