By Wikipedias count there are presently 51 on-going national emergencies in USA, 19 of them have been declared by Trump.

The oldest still active one was made by Carter in 1979, it's a sanction on Iran.

    Any US company that wants to could setup mining operations in greenland today, Denmark/Greenland would happily welcome the development.

    The reason the USA wants to seize greenland is because it foresees a future where it is no longer allied with Europe, so in order to secure the resources and military access in the long term they are annexing it now since Europe is entirely incapable of stopping them at present, both politically and militarily.

    Why have all these "x-point plan" been so horrifically poorly written?

    14 A is a sentence fragment that has no meaning.

    5 B, Does not restrict Ukraine from continuing the war to reclaim it's territory since the occupied areas are not "Russian territory" and it simultaneously states that if Russia militarily opposes that recapture it would trigger the security guarantees and enter NATO into war with Russia.

    18, "as soon as possible" is such a cliche contract trap, just write 6 months and there wont be any arguing.

    It's like a child wrote it, but this is being presented in a serious international forum. The original one from Russia and Europe's modification thereof were also just absolute garbage.

    Disclaimer: All names contained in this post have been deliberately made public by the person themself.

    Model makers, riggers, musicians, artists, and all others involved in the making of vtuber shows are all carefully credited, since it would obviously be reprehensible not to do so, but the actual performer that portrays the Idol goes entirely uncredited. The performers are all experienced entertainment industry professionals, Hololive does not and has never contracted unproven talent. Most of them have IMDB pages but universally their biggest and most prestigious work is not listed there, because Hololive forbids it.

    When Rebecca Cardenas went independent as Dooby one of the very first things she did was make her identity public specifically to take credit for some previous work she's done. But even after going independent she is still seemingly contractually prohibited from taking credit for portraying Ame, something that might actually be illegal in my opinion. Rebecca should be able to list her time portraying Amelia Watson as part of her professional work experience.

    I am not saying that all the talent should be forced to make their identities public, rather I think they should be credited by a name which they control. For example, the performer portraying Takanashi Kiara does not own that name and could not use that name when doing other work, but she does own the name Keekihime. So while some talent, like Karen Calanni playing Mori Calliope, would want to be credited by their real name, others, like Keekihime, might rather be credited by a stage name. The important part being that they control the name themselves and can use it as they wish.

    Hololive refusing to credit the performers unfairly shackles them to the company and inhibits their professional careers, and that's messed up
