Each state is an experiment. The results we all watch with interest.

Florida is Faustian independence.

Would be okay, if it wasn't required to be subsidized by california via the state- and the result of the failed experiments be parked at other peoples doorsteps (as greyhound homeless or superfund sites) all the time.

If you have been poor for 5 years, that is ingrained in your behaviour.

You will also get rid of any trust from foreigners and, thus, any future foreign investment.

Sometimes keeping your word is more important that attainment of ideological purity. China can survive such a loss of trust, because it is a Behemoth of a nation and can live somehow regardless. Honduras much less so.

(I am saying this as a citizen of a small country who doesn't like all our commitments either, but the alternative of just going back on our word would be fairly detrimental to us long term.)

Was there really ever any trust, except for the - we can get away with bribing people and steal stuff as fast as we can carry and can get away with it? A dishonest merchant will only meet dishonest people.

As I understand it, the previous govt invited the conquistadores and let them buy free reign.

And the souvreign changed his opinion on that. Corruption is not a trapdoor function, you can get rid of that.

> Leipzig is lovely but tiny in comparision, you won't find even remotely as many clubs and parties.

That’s exactly what someone would say, to keep the tourists away :p

“No, there are no underground raves around here, nor have there ever been, nor will there ever be. Please stay away from this town.”

You make two entrances - one is "backstage and delivery guys" - thats where the people you want get in- the other is for insta-noodles and hipster-replacement folk, who want to wait all night and then get rejected in some viral video..

There's still quite a lot of illegal/semi-legal free party scene type stuff going on, especially in summer. A lot of the scene has been pushed outside of the ring, though.

Eh, because they do not want people there, who listen to promotions and whatever the socialsewersystems carries as hip to them.

Where there is affordable housing, there be musicians doing brave new things instead of worrying about rent and rapping rants about gentrification.

Reintroduce shareholder liability - if you missmanage a company such that it creates liability, you participate in it with more then the shares value?
