south americans.

your comment is the embodiment of the hola, my Latinx friends meme.


Most Latinos in the US are of Mexican origin. Mexico is not in South America.


Then the term there is Latin Americans


There's nothing really wrong with "Latin Americans" (as far as I can see – I'm not Latino though) but it's just not a very concise or widely used term.


If they are immigrants. Wouldn’t fit if they are just visiting.


Cubans, Mexicans and many other are not South Americans.


on top of that they highlight repeat guests which makes no sense. and the fact that they highlight them specifically is very fishy.


Life in the big city.


these seem like very flawed metrics to say the least. but then for twitter journos, twitter is everything.


> We cannot let prisons continue being factories for drug addicts and career criminals

or literal factories. prison labor is not always forced, but always cheap labor and some of it even dangerous. imagine getting paid 2$ a day to fight CA's wildfires


Even worse than that $2 is that they can’t get hired as firefighters once they are out, due to felony record

the term "astronaut" is not tied to universal characteristics such as having been to earth's orbit. instead, the term was introduced by NASA and is explicitly reserved for crew members of NASA space programs who have been to orbit or beyond. therefore there are also no soviet astronauts


Uh, indeed one would likely use the word "космонавт" talking about soviet astronauts, and one could claim that "astronaut" is somehow NASA-related since USA was the second country that had astronauts, but the word "astronaut" was introduced in science fiction long before NASA even existed and is not even an English word. So that claim is dubious at best.


this is true, they were in space for just as long.


that sounds about right. but if you're not married, you're more likely to get to ~3,800€ a month after taxes and social security contributions, which comes in at ~42% combined.
