Nick Kristof Flunks Politics 101
Nick KristofIf you can’t BS a residency requirement, should you even be in politics? Some advice for those feeling invincible during the Great Resignation: Before you opt to leave your gold-plated, tenured position as a columnist for the New York Times to try your hand in state politics, do run a quick eligibility check. This week, the Oregon Supreme Court unanimously upheld the secretary of state’s decision that Nick Kristof, who lived and drove and voted in New York until roughly 10 minutes ago, was not eligible to run for governor because he didn’t meet the state’s three-year residency requirement. Politics 101 is learning to BS a residency requirement. You will know Kristof is ready for political office when he's able to pass an Oregon residency requirement while not even pretending to leave New York.

The trailer promises a harder edge than Loki or Hawkeye, with more violence and a plot that hinges on the protagonist’s possible dissociative identity disorder.

Creditors with inexhaustible resources, but entire world in debt
Global creditors› identifications and their seemingly inexhaustible resources as if “only the sky›s the limit”, remain largely unknown to most of us. Countries in debt crisis often in sheer desperation prefer calling upon the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or the World Bank for conditional relief action.
