The developmental stage of a nation is determined by a number of factors including, but not limited to, economic prosperity, life expectancy, income equality, and quality of life. As a developed nation, Italy is able to provide its citizens with social services like public education, healthcare, and law enforcement. <br />http://www.confiduss.com/en/jurisdictions/italy/economy/<br />Thanks Makshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05923287727903521270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362454344378752317.post-80203097714132248852020-07-19T16:51:18.771+02:002020-07-19T16:51:18.771+02:00I love this observation!

I drank it (for obvious reasons). Never had anything so putrid in my life...so, not sure but I'd say it's an "acquired taste".<br /><br />So, after seeing Domino's Pizza Shoppes springing up around Milano....Starbucks every so often says they're coming to bring espresso to Italians. Supposedly, this time they're serious. I don't mind, but it means we'll all soon be paying 3.50 for our cappuccinos...in any random bar in the Bel Paese.Irreverent Italyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15104487411073849736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362454344378752317.post-12724133285151445622017-01-29T20:26:42.580+01:002017-01-29T20:26:42.580+01:00Harm - Not an impression, in Italy that's what...Harm - Not an impression, in Italy that's what they do...just keep adding water until it resembles something more like tea made with espresso - it is godawful. So, yes, that's what they thought it was...until Nescafe' came to Italy and kind of destroyed it...although Nescafe' is so bad I wouldn't use it to clean my toilet. [Their Nespresso pods, on the other hand, in various shapes, sizes, and colours are another story entirely...if global warming is your thing...But they *are* divine ... And so is George Clooney, their spokesperson].<br /><br />As for caffeine content, the grains sitting the whole time in your cup, vis-a-vis a shot of espresso makes for a heckuva lot more caffeine system-wide...even though most think that espresso is FORTE!

And that in reality, Americans tend to percolate (which increases the caffeine content, as an aside)? And that American coffee might not be so bad, after all?<br /><br />Just making sure; you know how eternally interested I am in this subject, too (truly). Incidentally I have a hard time accepting that Starbucks Coffee is typical of American coffee, but that's nothing new, either.Harmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362454344378752317.post-48222163500479520022017-01-08T12:15:39.909+01:002017-01-08T12:15:39.909+01:00This really good, appreciateThis really good, appreciateimpresa italiahttp://progettoitalia97.wixsite.com/mysite/single-post/2017/01/08/Noleggi-auto-a-Milano-Malpensanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362454344378752317.post-45607368204266827992017-01-08T12:13:27.597+01:002017-01-08T12:13:27.597+01:00This is such a good article and i will keep coming...This is such a good article and i will keep coming to read more from youimpresa italiahttp://www.spomeniteni.org/blog/noleggi-auto-a-venezianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362454344378752317.post-73945383462638523742016-12-19T12:59:58.167+01:002016-12-19T12:59:58.167+01:00Short and sweet, for maximum Zinnng!

Americans argue that in a democracy you have the "right" to vote, but the outcome is not a true representation of all of the people unless everyone votes! Also the need to drum up voters with a "dog and pony show" would not be necessary. The only hope is that in 4 years time that more Americans will get out and vote!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01044115963470945443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362454344378752317.post-72847878046382195762016-11-17T18:46:23.340+01:002016-11-17T18:46:23.340+01:00Dave, WhyTF you here?
