Yeshiva University Can Bar L.G.B.T. Club for Now, Justice Rules
Sonia Sotomayor’s ruling will be in place pending a decision by the Supreme Court to take up the case.

But if the LGBT club bars Orthodox Jews, they're anti-semitic. Not for nothing, but religious (grooming) freedom is really license to discriminate. It has nothing to do with religion (grooming).

Yeshiva University Halts All Student Clubs to Block L.G.B.T.Q. Group
Earlier in the week, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed a ruling to stand for now that required the university to recognize the group.

Such a mature reaction.

PR might not be a viable country, geographically. It does not have an infrastructure that can withstand a major hurricane every three years.

PR already exists in a Never Never Land as a country. They are citizens of the United States but I'm not sure if they can vote in Presidential elections if they live on the island. The island residents get full benefits from US social services too, or used to.
And you're correct. The infrastructure, like that of most Caribbean countries, just isn't able to withstand hurricanes of the type we've been seeing the last few years. And yet tech bros have decided it's the place to be. Let's see how long that lasts.

It's actually weirder than that when you think about it. There are primaries in Puerto Rico for both parties, but residents can't vote in the general election. At the same time US citizens who live outside the 50 US states can vote in the general election, as long as they don't live in a US overseas territory.

Actually this year is an unusually quiet hurricane season for unclear reasons. This is the first somewhat significant one and it's already mid September.

As for Puerto Rico it would be more viable than quite a few other Caribbean countries. It's a tough ask though to give up all the US goodies...

I was noticing that. My brother-in-law lives in Miami and they have had a wonderful summer. Nothing to worry about.
In Colorado, fire-season went by without any issues; it has been raining steadily in the southwest of the state, making it an easy season.
CC. Just making it unpredictable in any fashion.

And this is the reason I think they won't vote for statehood.
