as oppossed to .... Can alcohol affect your sense of smell? Several scientific papers assume that long-term drinkers as found in those with an addiction problem, experience significant, even permanent, loss or inhibition of their senses. To date, researchers have shown deterioration in eyesight, smell, taste, and coordination in people who frequently drink too much alcohol. Does alcohol affect your body's smell? Alcohol triggers chemical reactions in the body producing diacetic acid and acetaldehyde, both of which cause a distinct smell. and............ don't forget "Beer muscles" is a humorous term, not a real physical condition. It refers to a large belly that some people associate with excessive beer drinking, implying it's a result of the beer rather than actual muscle growth. It can also refer to an aggressive attitude developed after drinking Light 'em if you got 'em !

When you talk about a person's intelligence, you are talking about their ability and capacity to learn and apply new information. Common sense is simply the ability to exercise good, sound judgment in practical situations. Education and training do not influence common sense.

One Minute Entry into USA
Luuk Chaai replied to Yagoda's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
Here’s a short list 1. Highest Cost-of-Living in the Nation California has the highest cost-of-living burden in the country under Gavin Newsom. 2. Soaring Crime According to a recent report by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on crime rates in 2022, while nationwide crime has gone down, California's crime rate is consistently spiking and went up in 2022 by a staggering 13%. The passage of Proposition 47 and Proposition 57 in California (both championed by Gavin Newsom) are key drivers of the increase in crime 3. Worst Homelessness Crisis in the Nation Despite California spending over $24 billion on homeless prevention programs from 2018 to 2022 alone, California’s homelessness crisis has gotten far worse under Newsom’s leadership. From 2007 to 2022, homelessness nationally has fallen 10%, but it has increased in California by a staggering 31.6% according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. In fact, California represents roughly 12% of the US population – but has a third of the homeless population. under Newsom, The bedrock of our functioning republic is the public’s trust in our election system and the integrity of election results. But Gavin Newsom has actively undermined election integrity in California by: reducing the amount of polling centers, greenlighting ballot production policies that lead to duplicate ballots, refusing to clean voter rolls, and much more. In fact, our audit of the 2022 California Election found that the state failed 9-out-of-10 election integrity metrics and found ample evidence of fraudulent voting. 5. Helping Human Traffickers While Creating a Border Crisis Gavin Newsom has supported Joe Biden's reckless “open borders” policy, which has resulted in record numbers of illegal immigrants crossing every month since Biden took office, 6. Failing Schools – And Attacks on Parents California schools are failing and are more concerned about spreading toxic curriculum than core competencies under Gavin Newsom. Test scores in California have shown a steep decline in reading and math achievement for 3rd through 11th grade. Of the most shocking results, only 13% of students in Bakersfield met the state standard for math, and only 41% of students in Los Angeles Unified were proficient in reading. Newsom has turned a blind eye to these results and has been focused on attacking parents and removing parents’ “Right to Know” about what their children are learning and whether they are having challenges over their identity. 7. Negligence Creating an Insurance Crisis Under Newsom, several insurers have announced plans to increase rates or pause or cease coverage in California. The insurance crisis is caused by three drivers: First, massive surge in inflation under Newsom and Joe Biden has caused the cost of home damage repair (construction/appliance costs) to skyrocket way above the assumed models that insurance companies expected when they set premiums in 2019-2023. Second, the severity of wildfires is worse because Newsom has failed to implement proper forest management practices. Third, the state insurance regulations prevent insurance companies from providing cost-efficient policies that reflect rapidly changing market conditions. Newsom has failed to address these causes and has instead attempted to blame “Climate Change” for the insurance crisis. 8. A Pattern of “Pay-to-Play” Politics Gavin Newsom appears to have engaged in pay-to-play politics by receiving millions from state contractors and developers and rewarding them with billions in state contracts and housing subsidies. Conveniently, these same special interests donate to his wife's 501c3 foundation, from which she has drawn more than a million dollars in compensation. Newsom also recently took a lot of heat over “Panera-Gate” — in which he allegedly exempted Panera from a $20 per hour minimum wage increase bill after a Panera owner donated to Newsom’s campaign. 9. Failed Green New Deal Policies (Energy, Water Rationing) Newsoms’ “Green New Deal” policies have resulted in the shutdown and restriction of nuclear and natural gas plants, leading to a reliance on unreliable solar and wind energy sources. He has also imposed mandates, taxes, and regulations on gas and energy, resulting in the highest rates in the nation and a crushing burden on working families. In fact, consumers are forced to pay higher utility rates to fund government-mandated "public purpose" programs, such as welfare assistance, climate change programs, and wildfire preparedness. There is also a "High Usage Charge," which is basically a "Hidden Usage Charge," on all energy bills, penalizing consumers for using over a certain amount of energy. By choking energy production, politicians have forced California to import 30% of its energy each year from neighboring states. These failures have led to increased energy costs for Californians and a strain on the state's electrical grid. Newsom has also been negligent in his mismanagement of the state’s water supply. Only 5% of California's water is used for residential, retail, and commercial consumption, while 40-45% is used by agriculture and 50-55% is directed out to the ocean. Environmental restrictions have also led to less usage of rivers, such as the case of the Delta Smelt. New technologies to enhance water supplies have been rejected by Newsom and state politicians. 10. Destroying Direct Democracy by Gutting Citizen Initiative Rights -
