There has possibly never been a crisis that revealed the true strength of two people as much as Gretchen Whitmer and Kathy Hochul. I never would have expected Whitmer to be the worst Dem governor or Hochul to be one of the best.

it's funny to me that you could be talking about 1945 or 2025 here.

the Nazis were exactly like this by the way which is one of the reasons the gossip from that period is so unreliable; it was much more behind closed doors but they were always accusing party rivals of being gay, Jewish, secretly into poop, whatever.

it is possible that since you keep talking about the continental shelf you have gotten confused with *seabed* rights. now this may come as a surprise to you, but the Falklands are actually *above* the ocean (and also outside the 200 nm limit)

it's very funny that you don't have a single other response than this. territorial waters have indeed generally expanded since the 19th century ... to twelve nautical miles. you may not be very good at math but I assure you this is less than 438 km.

Finance can handle rampant cocaine addictions because we know the effect of cocaine addiction so everyone just prices it in to how people assess things and it balances out. Meanwhile the richest men in the world, if drug tested, would pop for substances last seen in a lab in Chelyabinsk-70 in 1963.

ah yes, the well known 438 km limit of territorial waters.
