This is bullshit, but wearing black and carrying an umbrella in Phoenix can definitely be suspicious behavior under certain circumstances (summer).

It's doing that while wearing sunlight-absorbing black that's suspicious.

Not that it matters, but that is exactly how I felt driving from 6k feet in CO, where we had 10 inches of snow, driving straight to FL, nonstop, to find it 85° w/90% humidity by 9 am.

There's specific edge cases where it might be suspicious, but none of them are what the Phoenix Police are talking about is my point. Because they're lying through their teeth. Because they're bastards.

France has that issue, too.

My opinion? By virtue of being the last Axis standing Germany, unlike most of Europe, was forced to confront its aggressive genocidal tendencies and make cultural and legal changes. Most of Europe was happy to ship their Jews to concentration camps and there were plenty of happy collaborators with fascism.
Also, like a lot of you, I've spent time in Germany and I loved it there. The climate, the culture, the food, the political system, the civic attitudes. There are problems everywhere but Germany seems to comparatively have its poo poo together economically and culturally, plus unlike Canada or Scandinavia my wife won't commit suicide in the winter.

French is easier to learn anyway. So are Danish, Dutch, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, and Swedish.

Some of those are useful in more than one country two and a half countries and two microstates, too.

Well if there ever was evidence that reinfection wasn't a thing, certainly one of the most densely populated cities not basically having their entire infrastructure constantly slammed would be it?

There's still been a number of confirmed reinfections but it's more along the predictions that a small percentage of people will not develop the right kind of immunity vs. apocalyptic twitter claims. I think even if immunity for most cases wanes over a year or so it'll still happen unevenly enough not to cause the same kind of infection rates that we saw last year, but that's just me spitballing.
