Paris is burning over gas taxes

I remember Europe gas price was about 2.5x more than average US gas price around 2002.

It is paradise for tax lovers. Also perfect for worrying about next door EU countries F'ing up so that all EU countries has to bail them out.

That is clever and funny as hell.

If you have a pipe dream catcher, I'm interested buying one, but only if it helps European citizens who are at risk.

I would normally wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment. But then I stop to think about who some voters in this country choose and reality takes a bit bite outta my ass.

A sliver of a silver lining is that, apparently, many Obama voters turned and voted for Trump. He won after all. And he lost way fewer House and Senate seats in the mid terms than the any POTUS in what, the last hundred years or so?
Trump isn't my saviour but it does show some hope that we are moving in the right direction? Maybe? Wishful thinking on my part, I know. (Sorry to derail)

Cheap suppressors with no paperwork and abundant nuclear power are at least two things they did right over there.

If you ever want to see a lefty go full REEEEEE, drop those nuggets into a conversation with them next time they're extolling the virtues of the Europeans.

If you hunt there without a suppressor, you are considered a rude bastard. Here you have to get permission from the "Government". I like the statement below! (except the nuclear part)
