Saloon and salon are different European spellings for the same word. Google “saloon etymology” for a full explanation. It just means a place to sit or gather.

To anyone confused as I was, they are talking about a location in Mexico roughly 31 miles away from the USA border, not 31 miles of border length.

Have you never watched pirates of the Caribbean?

It’s bad for regular folks. There are some people swimming in money because of everything you have mentioned.

Just the other day I have read that the USA has depleted most of its bomb stock in the Iran war and it will take years to replenish. Translation: weapon makers are guaranteed orders for new bombs at least for the next few years.

People, this is just propaganda - or at least misleading journalism. It’s just another drug that can help hiv carriers to live a normal life. Which is great in itself, but it’s not a cure.

It is correct. You have hiv but you die from aids. HIV, the virus, doesn’t kill you. It destroys your immune system to the point that you die from regularly common virus and infections normal people shrug off even without any medication. Hence hiv carriers might die from the common cold for example. But since hiv is the root cause of their death, rather than the common cold, we say they died of aids = auto immune deficiency disorder. This also allows to differentiate between asymptomatic carriers and people with symptoms.
