    Thanks for the help, Mexico. Way more helpful than Bush was.

      Did you know the drinking age in Louisana was 18 until Katrina hit? Then Bush and the government at large told them if you want assassitance raise you drinking age to 21.

        That’s in order to receive federal highway money if I recall correctly. Probably desperately needed that money right after Katrina though so that checks out. Was still trivial to drink underage when I was there years and years ago

                  US I was denied financial aid for fall semester because my legal partner makes too much money.

                  Edit: Oh yeah I’m old. Kinda don’t know how useful I’d be to any of these organizations honestly.

    Cuba responded before anyone else did with food, aid supplies, and doctors, and were promptly turned away by the US.

      Not calling you a liar or anything but can you source that? I love to go down rabbit holes and I think it would be an interesting read. Thank you in advance if you respond.

            Well, if Hawaii didn’t want to get invaded, it shouldn’t have put itself in an ideal defensive location for the USA in the pacific, it’s their fault really
