Worst part about living in Europe

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
- 3 of those are already set in motions.
  
  I live in the Netherlands. Every year I see more and more American trucks on the road. The cancer is spreading.
  
  We need a 500% tariff on US vehicles.
  
  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.
  
  We need to stop it from spreading. Genuinely ass to see these non-logical small pp vehicles exist here in any capacity.
  
  There is hope! I convinced my neighbor to downgrade his f150 into a Tacoma....
  I can't stand big cars.
- Or a mountain bike with suspension
  
  Or drinking less soda
  
  nah, bring me my christian-fascist leaders!
  /s
- 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.
  
  Let a girl shitpost! My manager insisted that I take the day off to enjoy the nice weather and I'm bored as hell 😠
  
  Damn right, girl! Shitpost and chill!
  
  Throw a mentos in those bottles and you'll no longer be bored
  You'll have to wash 3 years of laundry after, but you won't be bored
  
  Lemmy Shitpost is actually a place where people can come and dissect humor, and eventually turn it political.
  
  manager: have a day off, enjoy the nice weather!
  home inside: 32°C
- Number 4 is reasonable if people are educated on what Marxism is in theory and practice
  
  Now see. That is communism. And communism is just fucking Hitler.
  Fascist religious leaders on the other hand might save you in the end.
  
  I honestly have no idea what you're trying to say here
