What do you think shipping costs? They have to take it on a Jones Act compliant ship through the Panama Canal. California is getting a deal, in all honesty, after factoring the increased costs.

I'm in the 82nd richest county in the country. It isn't gouging. It is the fact that gasoline must be shipped using ships that comply with the Jones Act because California no longer has any refineries. The rest of the country has locally-produced gasoline. California relies on ships that cross the Panama Canal to get to the west coast. It isn't cheap.

Alabama does have a statute concerning lewd behavior that might apply to this circumstance, so the officer might have some grounds. However, if I were a judge, I wouldn't want that in my court. I can see a prosecutor dismissing the case after holding her in jail the legal length of time before dropping charges.

California is more exposed to international energy prices because of the lack of refining in west coast states. It either has to be trucked or shipped. Not cheap. My local gas station in Kansas is still $3.409.

I agree. But, maybe, at some point, they settle on Kurds having a country that's got zero overlap with Turkish land and in a place not strategically important to Turkey.

Edit: And we may see Azerbaijan enter the war and gain Azeri territory at the same time and I think Turkey would be very favorable to that end. So maybe they take a plus and a minus to even things out?

I suspect the strategy is to decapitate Iranian leadership and hope the people of Iran do the rest.

Cubans are exempt from most of the deportation laws.

If people want to leave Cuba, the Cuban government ought to let them go. This should be a national policy.

Orban might lose the election if prices don't drop.

What are they going to do with oil? Does Cuba have any working refineries? Ñico López is down due to a fire the other day. Hermanos Díaz refinery is entirely offline, retooling for capacity to refine heavier oil. It won't be online again for months. The only other refinery I know is only does coking to produce non-fuel chemicals and lighter grade oil that's fed back into Ñico López.

It depends how it is done. Instead of denials, it could be used to "approve without review" all the easy cases and then forward to a human all the rest. This would speed up approval for lots of situations and focus human effort on more difficult cases.

If you want to get technical, all the games are bad because they extract vast amount of resources from people who live in the host city and leave behind unusable infrastructure. Also, the corruption. So much corruption.
