“ Countries with high exports don’t have a great quality of life”

TIL Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Norway have a low standard of living.

Alkohol macht die Deutsche Bahn erträglich. Ich bin Amerikaner, aber ich glaube, viele Deutsche würden mir zustimmen. Wenn man spät in Köln ankommt und zwei Stunden auf den nächsten Zug warten muss, machen ein paar Bier das Warten leichter.

I have experience in this. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled on it. If it’s open comment time, they cannot censor except for obscene or threatening speech. All they can do is set a time limit. Don’t cuss or make violent threats and you’re good. If they censor you it’s an open and shut civil rights case.

If it’s a public hearing for a specific matter, they can restrict comment to that topic.

A city council in the U.S. does not have to allow a general public comment time. Perhaps there are some states where it is required.

They can also allow public comment only as part of a hearing on a specific matter. Most states require this.

HOWEVER, if they allow an open public comment they cannot censor it.
