  • Depends on how many people live in your household and what you eat. You can probably spend even less if you’re only cooking for one and most meals are ‘beans and rice’-level.

    I’d assume that the hard part is finding an affordable place in a somewhat walkable neighborhood in the US, especially if you don’t want to live in a one-room apartment.

    Either way, the $50 are really not the important part. It would still be true if you paid $200 and could save $50 by shopping at cheaper supermarkets that are further away.














  • Apparently the government needs a two-thirds majority to pass this kind of law, which usually means that some part of the opposition needs to vote for a law proposed by the government. The two-thirds majority requirement might be due to WW2, but the real issue is that the then-opposition would literally rather have a foreign country continuously violate our airspace than give one crumb to the other side. I doubt the CDU (then opposition, now government leader) actually had much issue with the content of the law.

    Also, for a long time this kind of thing just wasn’t necessary. I doubt the sowjets were regularly flying military jets into West German airspace.
