      Let’s make this about 'murica. Hello, fellow 'murican. Did you already coup a government on this fine day to replace their President with some dictator that will gladly sell out his country to our interests in favour of power? I love the smell of terrorism in the morning. Makes my petro dollar extra bloody.

      They’re US states, I’m sure if you really wanted to know which specific ones they are, you can look them up, and if you don’t want to, OP’s point doesn’t actually rely on you knowing that they’re Kansas and Missouri.

          Like they said, it doesn’t really matter if you look them up or not. Either you know what they meant or knowing won’t effect you in any way. Knowing which states those are does not really effect the understanding of the comment, that different regulations lead to different outcomes.

            since the general meaning of the post is trivial, which you tried to sum up with this

            different regulations lead to different outcomes

            all that remains that could be barely interesting are the names of those states.

              It may be trivial, but we have to prove trivial statements often. Some people might claim regulations don’t protect the waterways and only harm businesses. They’d be wrong, but it’s still important to give counter-examples to them.

                  I answered quickly because I fucked up my partition on my computer and while I’m fixing that (waiting for things to scan) I’ve got nothing better to do. My bad. I don’t understand what the rest of your comment says though.

          Haha, can’t believe I ended up with negative karma for the comment. I guess most Europeans feel very strongly about this.

      it’s fairly obvious from the context

      EDIT: lol, this discussion is insane. So many downvotes haha, what a bunch of weirdos on lemmy.

              ok. Seems fairly common across the world. In germany it’s common-place as well to use acronyms, sometimes even in speech (mostly for those with longer names like BW for Baden-Württemberg)

                I have yet to meet someone who says BW. Maybe your social bubble doesn’t encompass the entire nation.

                  We do say “NRW” at least. Even the news sometimes do. I propably wouldn’t do it in an international forum though.

                I have never heard anyone refer to BaWü as BW in speech.
                The only Bundesland I have ever encountered that is NRW.

                Though most wouldn’t do that in an international sub with an audience that obviously won’t know the acronyms.
