@Omsomething Because the US has a strong history of private industry filling niches. And now they get replaced with less effectual 'public' ones that are paid for via taxes, that end up costing more and doing less

It's a slow creep of ineffectiveness

@VexenX it's a culture thing, dw

I'm a pragmatist, so... some would say I am weak against logical arguments of practicality.

@VexenX I have drunken coffee since I was 2

Man, got me beat there.

16 again.

daily driver at 15 >P

:P*

I can hear your lungs crying

I can hear your soul crying

for cucking

I walked everywhere when I moved out, kept me in great shape, then I got a bike and biked everywhere. Now I got a car *shrug*

The gay tax.... hmmmm

HMMMMMMM

@Omsomething You know all of these high crime cities in the US like Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco, etc?

They're all the highest taxed as well. We have an inverse correlation in the US between govt spending, and quality of life.

jizya but only for gays

taxation is good for the gay <:high_iq:382980759012638731>

HMMMMM (double caps)

@Fitzydog
Could be, but based on what i hear monopolies in US in telecommunication for example is doing nothing good for US consumers.

@MountainMan have you heard of THE free will?

it's part of what we used to call democracy

@Mips nigger I fucking smoke shisha

@Fitzydog The taxation in those cities is a correlation though, right? I mean, not saying it isn't worth considering, though.

I would need to see stats on that big, what are those cities doing wrong then?

shisha bars

fucking arab

*thats the joke*

shisha is good.

deus vult

I smoke blunts, but I ain't touching no shishas

But I'm taking a pause for a couple months tho

Also correlation is not what?

I used to smoke that shit in coffee houses many years ago.

Coffee houses

causation, I figured you guys would fill in the blank.

@VexenX I tried it at a party or 2

pls dont be another dutchfag

prefer a bong

@Omsomething They pushed out industry and the people who could afford to shop around for places to live.

Also, there's never accountability to where tax dollars go, and no caps on public officials salaries

there are enough dutchfaggots in here

I don't smoke pot. *shrug*
