    I wouldn't be surprised if Israeli assets were dedicated to keeping American political opinion on their side. It is an integral part of their foreign policy to rely on American support.

    For a lot of online transactions, this is usually the only way people can get access.

    There are a lot of people out there who don't have credit cards or bank accounts, so they can't buy anything online. A gift card to an online store may be the cheapest or only way they can pay.

    The formation of television in the USA was different than for movies. The early cameras were incredibly large, required close access to transmission equipment, and needed high ends technical staff to maintain it. Also, Rockefeller Center was built in NYC for the express purpose of being a television studio, the first of its kind in the world.

    So, a lot of early television was done on various stages. Since Broadway was nearby, TV companies pulled a lot of theatre acting talent to make television shows. Because these people were used to performing in front of an audience, they brought audiences with them.

    Scripted comedies ended up being holdouts in switching to non-audience filming because it was thought that the live audience made the viewing experience better for the television audience. People watching alone could laugh with the audience.

    It has become a diplomatic talking shop similar to the G7. There has been pushes from some member states to make it more, including creating alternate financial systems, but it has been slow growing.

    I can, yes. Do I often? I do so less now than I did when I was younger just because I'm not in as many places where random conversations would happen.

    As others have said, it takes practice to be able to do that. Along with that, I'd recommend reading up on active listening. A lot of people are happy to talk if others listen.

    Wage by itself may not be indictive of quality of life.

    In some countries, medical costs are a major cost for people while it is hidden under a subsidy in other countries.

    Housing prices can vary wildly and may be partially influenced by government policy.

    I've been seeing that shift a lot recently. For instance, a lot of friends will work out a deal where their kids spend the day with their grandparents once or twice a week to save on day care costs.

    Several states have licensed geologists and environmental scientists.

    You can also get a degree in biology and become a certified wetland delineator with some minor additional education.

    People here like to say "I don't use social media; I use forums" like there is a difference between the two. There isn't. Forums are places where people post and comment on user generated content, other comments themselves.
