is it poorer? richer? better? worse? Is European internet cheaper? are EU food prices outrageous? Is European healthcare better? Is Europe safer?

    There are for more guns than people in the United States. I had someone “roll coal” on me a few weeks ago while riding my bike. It was as awful as you’d expect. People are awful to teachers and we pay them very little. And anti-immigrant sentiment is pretty strong at the moment. So, yes, basically everything referenced occurs in the US. United I’m missing something I’m particular you’re talking about.

    We don’t usually our oil on the ground and try to light it though. That’s pretty hard, we usually just use gasoline.

      We don’t pour oil on the ground to light it, we pour it into smudge pots and light it. But only after we’re drain it from our trucks oilpan after the recommend 1000 mile interval

      Unless I’m missing something in particular you’re talking about.

      No, I’m really asking that. I’ve heard about “rolling coal” happening, but the other ones are hard to imagine. (To be fair, rolling coal was also hard, but it’s well evidenced.)

        Well put it this way: Kamala Harris, the democratic presidential nominee, just made clear in the debate that she and her VP nominee Walz are both gun owners because it will help their campaign. So…

        I was driving this weekend, a truck turned onto the road ahead of me, stayed stopped in the right hand lane until I got near to them, then slammed on the gas spewing a massive cloud of filth that entirely enveloped my car. Thankfully my wife and I noticed it beforehand and rolled our windows up.
