Your account is interesting. There's a lot going on there.

Russia should be excluded from that vote because it's about them, but they also have won over China for exactly that reason.

It wouldn't be the first time something like what you're describing happened. And they Russified a huge swath to surrounding geographic area. Anything is possible, but we shouldn't give the benefit of the doubt to a government that stole that many kids or any kids. https://www.dw.com/en/the-children-the-nazis-stole-in-poland-forgotten-victims/a-52739589

I seriously doubt you're an expert on what the rules are for marital benefits in the entire world. And there's only one area of the world where its very likely that what you said is true. Western Europe.

He might have if the governor had ignored him. Would have been worth it.

I'm not trying to be argumentative here exactly, but...what does Junko Tabei even have to do with the US? And Maya Lin is still alive. We don't put living people on currency. I'm not gonna argue against your other two suggestions a bit, but. I'm not certain that it makes sense to say that Junko Tabei had more of an impact on the US than a woman who was born here, in the film industry here for decades, made films in Europe because she wasn't given the roles she should have gotten in favor of white people in yellowface, advocated for better representation for Asian-Americans in film, was a philanthropist, and spent her time and money trying to help China repel the Japanese before WWII.

You know what, if being on it this long isn't enough to satisfy his ego from beyond the grave, that's too bad. Read the article and have a seat.

It's not as progressive as European Redditors try to make us think it is because they want us to feel bad about how things are at home. As if we don't feel badly enough.

It's been 10 years in the US, and yes, it's changed a lot.
