Tourism was 10% of the GDP at its height. Contrast with other central American and carribean nations that have tourism as 20-50% of their GDP. The canal is the biggest industry in Panama. It is quite literally the most important canal on the planet.

>The long arm of the law and all...

I know I shouldn't but I can't stop imaging this reading in Dani Devito's voice from that Friends episode...

I don't believe this for a second. Of course the same can be said for every statement coming from Russia.

Here is how you can tell if Russia is lying, they're speaking...

>The court added the family code was "objectively and reasonably justified in the general interests of giving precedence to those unions capable of establishing families, giving continuity to the human species, and therefore, to society."

You can tell its a Catholic country. Also, dubious use of the word "objective" there. I doubt gay people are gonna start having hetero sex to start families just because they can't get married.

I wonder if they'd be fine with laws banning the marriages of the elderly, the infertile, or those who have had elective sterilization (vasectomy, tubes tied) then?

That is not very 2023

There so much international business there too you'd think there would be enough people around accepting of it.

...and a number of my very left-wing conspiratorial-minded friends swallow Russian propaganda without salt or even chewing. Got a few that are still telling me that Ukraine is filled with Nazis and Putin is just doing what he needs to in order to protect Russia... It's bonkers.

Probably false flag, Kyiv has already denied it as per the updated headline

Occupy Wall Street happened in 2011... Far less than 20 years ago.

Kind of makes it tough to think anything else you said there was accurate.

Unfortunately that's how it is here. Religious nuts are in charge and there is no way around it. A huge majority of the population supports this nonsense. However, this decision was also based on wording from our constitution though I'm not exactly familiar with that stuff.

Yet we have a fucking Pride parade now every year.

They are like the national manifestation of narcissistic abuse.

it has been done for protest.

Lol

Tourism is literally one of, if not the biggest industries here in Panama.

Edit: Downvoted for the truth? Unless all those tourists I see everywhere are just a figment of my imagination.
