Yes, that's where I am from

2018-12-14 17:10:09 UTC  

As a common joke has it, if you don't start breaking in Trier (Germany) when you approach Luxembourg you will already be in France.

2018-12-14 17:10:24 UTC  

I have family in Trier

2018-12-14 17:10:34 UTC  

I wonder if they’ve ever been across the border

2018-12-14 17:10:52 UTC  

I think they’ve been to France so I’m sure they’ve driven through

2018-12-14 17:11:03 UTC  

Lol

2018-12-14 17:11:06 UTC  

In other words I leave quiet a bit, usually to use neighbouring countries highways to quicker get to other parts of Luxembourg.

2018-12-14 17:11:40 UTC  

Highly likely, depending on where the went in France.

2018-12-14 17:12:31 UTC  

Ok. I’m trying to understand. I think Europeans drive less than Americans

2018-12-14 17:12:51 UTC  

Why is the GDP per capita so high in Luxembourg? It’s insanely high

2018-12-14 17:13:04 UTC  

Like 2.5x Germany’s

2018-12-14 17:13:45 UTC  

Definitely, a three hour drive for us involves lots of planning for us, for an American it's just an afternoon checking in on family.

2018-12-14 17:13:56 UTC  

Shapiro did a good show on ballot harvesting

2018-12-14 17:14:16 UTC  

Yeah my parents live 7 hours away. We usually plan a bit to go there but we just made that drive for thanksgiving

2018-12-14 17:14:24 UTC  

And they only live 1 state away

2018-12-14 17:14:51 UTC  

@Euro looking for a green card really? A lot of planning? That’s interesting. I can’t imagine. I just get in my car and go.

2018-12-14 17:15:03 UTC  

Our GDP is so high because of having been very lucky in having jumped on the right train at the right time and having had really good Prime Ministers with lots of foresight.

2018-12-14 17:15:23 UTC  

Money comes mainly from the steel industry and more recently banking.

2018-12-14 17:15:44 UTC  

Oh ok. That’s kind of what I was going for. Looks like Liechtenstein is even higher

2018-12-14 17:16:00 UTC  

Fucking 168k USD

2018-12-14 17:16:05 UTC  

@Salacious Swanky Cat Slightly exaggerating, but yes 3 hour drives are actually an event for us.

2018-12-14 17:17:19 UTC  

Afaik we have the highest GDP in Europe usually trading places with Switzerland every so often.

2018-12-14 17:17:32 UTC  

I’m looking at per capita

2018-12-14 17:17:34 UTC  

@Euro looking for a green card it doesn’t surprise me because driving is so expensive there.

2018-12-14 17:17:47 UTC  

Gas is crazy expensive in Europe

2018-12-14 17:17:56 UTC  

1.82 gets you a gallon here

2018-12-14 17:18:10 UTC  

It's actually been alright for a few years. Comparatively speaking.

2018-12-14 17:18:25 UTC  

How much is gas there?

2018-12-14 17:18:29 UTC  

But we will soon get raped on Diesel, it seems.

2018-12-14 17:18:47 UTC  

I think it's around 1.1€/l

2018-12-14 17:19:05 UTC  

Lux is about the cheapest in Europe when it comes to gas though.

2018-12-14 17:19:22 UTC  

Is luxembourg part of the EU?

2018-12-14 17:19:31 UTC  

Lux was one of the founders

2018-12-14 17:19:33 UTC  

That’s like 4.15 euros/gallon

2018-12-14 17:19:50 UTC  

1.1€ would get you over 2.5 liters here

2018-12-14 17:19:59 UTC  

So it’s more than twice as expensive

2018-12-14 17:20:07 UTC  

That’s really expensive dude

2018-12-14 17:20:08 UTC  

At least where I live

2018-12-14 17:20:12 UTC  

And as I said Lux is very cheap when it comes to gas

2018-12-14 17:20:24 UTC  

That’s a big yikes from me dawg
