In what way? Not sure I understand what that has to do with anything as legal permanent residents

Nothing personal.
It is just my own response to hearing "we are missionaries".
Every time I hear that phrase, an eyebrow goes up.

video with agenda. I will gladly take my chances at a good buffet.

so maybe you should watch a different type of video ... this circus-virus agenda is getting out of control

I hear you, but I'm not ready to take my chances with this virus just yet. Table service for me. My uncle passed from this last week but he did have other significant health issues. Covid just pushed him over the edge. I appreciate Bill's argument as it's easy to take this too far. Get sun or take vitamin D3 supplements as well as there appears to be a positive correlation between vitamin D3 sufficiency and severe symptoms.

Where's Robert's yawning fox when you need it. My bad for splitting hairs over the 'second world' comment.

Neither you, nor your statement was what I was taking issue with, but rather the quoted source.....The World Bank.
I have them in the same wastebasket as the UN, WHO, NPOs, and most of the other initial do good/feel better organizations..
They were designed and built to do well, have tons of dedicated employees and volunteers, but have all driven far off center for generations.

Are you the posts count keeper in the "Premier League"? What is the Premier League anyway? Must be the equivalent to the word "essential" in the current pandemic state. Have to be here long hours and over time.....

No, not a posts count keeper, but just a member of the community for more than 72 hours.

The Premier League is the top level of the English football league system.

I personally liken DR1 to it, because in my opinion, DR1 is the best site for all RD related information and conversation. It excels over all the competition, whether they be independent sites or FB groups.

Again, head and shoulders above the competition, so yes, The Premier League.

As to what sparked my response to the new poster.....

I liken it to a new neighbor moving into a community, and within a week they are already drafting petitions and going door to door looking to make changes to suit their needs. Welcome to the neighborhood, and bide some time before shaking the tin cup at other members of the community.

Speaking of travel: Got an email today from Jet Blue Mosaic program (Free bags, changes etc.) Gave me ,with only 4 months into the year , Mosaic status thru 2021.
I think they are doing everything in their power to retain loyal customers and get new business.
Got the email this morning. They are simply doing what all the legacy airlines (Delta, AA and United) have already done, extending whatever status you have this year through the following year. The biggest thing from my email was I can gift an additional mosaic to anyone for a year June 20 - June 21 . They haven't offered that before . I will probably gift it to my father .

We are in the DR though and there is a lot of American influence here. Maybe better to say the major league or as Dominicans say “los grandes ligas”. The English premier league is not so well known here.

the chamber of Deputados cut the 25 days down to 15 days, no surprise, as a Opposition always has to change something of the governing parties plans, lol.
so tomorrow/friday 11AM it will be back at the 1st Chamber with the Senators, who are with the reigning party, so they will of course approvet also this way, for 15 days, til June 1st.
somebody asked if then he/she can fly early June???
what has that to do with the extention of the State of Emergency??
at the moment the State of Emergency is finished, does NOT automatically mean that also the borders a back open etc etc.
and anyways, I would expect that all reopening of the different economy sectors will be done while under State of Emergency,
that way such reopenings are way easier to control, IF it is possible to have any such control over our DR crowd.
I would await small and medium bussiness sectors to reopen during the coming week already, it is time for that and anyways it will not be possible to keep the small business/street business crowds away from hitting the streets any longer.
to open the borders for Intl Leisure Travel early June??
no way, my friend, i hopeour DR Government is not That stupid.
I personally would not await such leisure travel to be back before our elections, i see that tocome way after the July 5gh/12th elections have passed.
it could become tha last big action of the leaving government, it could also become the big starting responsibility for the New Government then starting their job August 16th.
