In a lot of places a part of your income is exempt from taxes (eg brackets where you pay 0-20k @ 0%, 30-60k @ 30%, 60-100k @ 40%, 100k+ @ 50%; then your first 20k is not taxed), i think this is what they are talking about.
Edit: another possibility would be they do mean actual expenses, just reminded you can (partially) deduct education expenses from your taxes in the Netherlands.
Totally true, but the us is supposed to be one of the adults, not one of the children. And there isn't always no consequence, especially if a country like us would recognize the international courts.
I hope both Russia and Iran will get rid of their fascist regime, rather sooner than later. But despite Russia not caring about international law, I do think it held them back when invading Georgia or anexing Crimea. Now any country can do as they please, because if America doesn't have to follow the rules, why would they? Imagine having to teach a class where everybody has to follow the rules but one kid can do anything he wants - recipe for chaos i tell you. I'm not saying the EU should stand with the Iran, but they should at least point out that America is breaking the rules in the way they are getting rid of this awful regime.
But here’s the thing that makes this even more absurd: Palantir isn’t even claiming the articles are false. The company isn’t suing for defamation. It isn’t seeking damages. Instead, it’s invoking a Swiss “right of reply” statute, alleging that Republik didn’t give the company a sufficient opportunity to respond. Palantir wants the court to force the magazine to publish lengthy counter-statements to each article.
Someone from Proton might read this, but it's also possible that won't happen. Probably you can report a bug or ask a question from the sheets web-app, but you could also leave a message here: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/ i assume collaboration is already high on their to-do list, but still.
America is not a group of like-minded individuals, no country is really. So you (plural) are not one-thing deep down. But there are enough people in favour of Trump who each have very different reasons) that he can stay in power. That sure says something about some people from America but not something about all Americans.
I think you're in denial. If they had changed the name of Homeland Security into the dep of National Security for example, you probably wouldn't say that media outlets is parroting the us government.
In case you live in a place where abortion is safe and legal, this is why this matters:
Abortion is legal in most EU countries, but some states such as Malta and Poland have almost complete bans and in Italy, where abortion has been legal since 1978, access to safe termination varies from one region to another.
That means that women often travel within their own country or to another EU member state to secure safe abortions.
A trip like this obviously isn't cheap and can be a real burden on the young women (or even girls, in some cases) in need of medical assistance.
I intend to pass the loophole my parents gave me to my children, really grateful for it
