They won't have any voting rights. Canadians will have the same status like Puerto Ricans with no voting power.

So you want to annex Canada? Canada gets the same as PR, huh? PR doesn't vote you say?

Here is a sample of what PR gets without having to vote, and you want the same for Canada?

Puerto Rico receives federal disaster aid, military protection, and access to Social Security and Medicare as a U.S. territory. Residents are U.S. citizens who can move freely to any state, serve in the U.S. armed forces (contributing more soldiers per capita than any state), and use the U.S. dollar without needing a passport for travel to the mainland.

*Federal Funding and Welfare includes significant financial support, with some analyses suggesting the island receives roughly $4.60 from the government for every $1 it pays in taxes. Approximately 45–50% of households receive some form of federal welfare benefits, though access to programs like SNAP (replaced by a capped block grant called NAP) and SSI is often more limited or structured differently than in the states.

Economic and Tax Incentives feature unique advantages such as Acts 20 and 22 (now part of Act 60), which allow bona fide residents to exclude Puerto Rico-sourced income from federal taxes and offer 4% corporate tax rates for export services. While residents pay federal payroll taxes (contributing billions annually, estimated at $4.8 billion in 2022), they are generally exempt from federal income tax on local earnings, creating a specific financial environment for investors and businesses.


Careful what you wish for?

They could probably double even that number if they checked on every Walmart employee and whoever is taking your drive through order at every fast food joint except maybe Chick-fil-A.

Edit...Down Voter works at Walmart or Taco Cabana? :dunno:

FWIW, All construction jobs are temporary.

As for what jobs go with a data center... Energy and water required don't come out of thin air. Pumps wear out, transformers etc. Yeah, it's not a 1965 Ford plant with 10,000 workers clocking in, but it and it's supporting vendors and suppliers ain't nothing either.

It truly is amazing how some these boomers cant handle a cell phone by now.


The IPhone is not new technology.

Listen up you young whipper snapper, I've been around, you know? I'm just waiting to make sure this mobile/cellphone stuff ain't just a Flash in the Pan before making such a big commitment!

She is as far left as it can go. She is saying that white people are dragging around blacks in society.

Maybe, but if this were the case, shouldn't the black baby be kicking the shite out of the white girl with about 6 other babies joining in the rat packing?

:dunno:

Oklahoma in at #12 right behind Texas. I guess we were both SEC ready after all.

Hey Rodo,
Can we get vidtiger23's qualifier in the thread title please. It'll help us to make a fair comparison. Kiffin having a 16 year resume and Sarkisian with 12 isn't enough information for comparison. Thanks

, but comparing a year 6 coach at a school throwing tons of money around to a year 1 coach at a school coming off a rocky season and just getting started is at best laughable.
