The cobblestone roads shook up all the drinks I was carrying home on my bike 😠

    It seems the solution to all your problems are:

    • Big trucks
    • Suburban sprawl
    • Privatized healthcare
    • Rabid anti-communism
    • Christian-fascist leaders

        I live in the Netherlands. Every year I see more and more American trucks on the road. The cancer is spreading.

            500% import duty is way too much.

            80% is enough.

            High one-time taxes are not a good idea.

            Rather dilute them into 8 seperate yearly taxes.

            A curb weight tax of 40% sounds reasonable. A fuel inefficiency penalty of 25% also sounds good.

            At least a 15% tax on anything shorter than 1 meter being invisible from the cabin is also very warranted.

            That’s 3 of 8.

            Additionally, whenever a truck is involved in a crash treat it disfavourably. That should drive up insurance premiums.

            So with my 80/80 tax mix they’d actually pay 880% tax in the first 10 years of ownership with 3 basic taxes.

          There is hope! I convinced my neighbor to downgrade his f150 into a Tacoma…

          I can’t stand big cars.

          We need to stop it from spreading. Genuinely ass to see these non-logical small pp vehicles exist here in any capacity.

      Maybe throw a housing association in there too. You’ve gotta make sure your fining people for growing the wrong flowers.

        My mother and former stepfather wants it, because they think it’s only about making sure people mow their grass on the regular, because wasps might be nesting there.

      Or simply waiting a bit before drinking the soda to let the CO2 settle and stop being a whiny little baby about minor inconveniences.
