@AvonandsomerRob@but_cyclists Ved and fuel taxes only cover a third of the true cost of driving, why would you abolish it when it should be 3x the cost?
I was genuinely horrified by the state of our roads whilst out driving in the Cotswolds today.
It got me thinking. What is our Road Tax money actually used for?
Because it certainly doesn't go towards producing velvet road surfaces like in France & Germany.
Perhaps the government just stick it in the Benefits pot, so Wayne & Waynetta Slob can smoke & drink themselves to death?
Should we abolish VED?
Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.
AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.
U.S officials have informed European counterparts that some previously contracted weapons deliveries are likely to be delayed as the Iran war continues to draw on weapons stocks-Reuters
US navy has just issued a warning to all boats around the strait of Hormuz any coming out of Iranian ports in 2 hours are liable to interception, boarding and capture.
Wow…
I've never used self checkout. Ever. And I never will.
Today in Aldi, there was only one person at self checkout and people queuing to use the manned checkouts.
When will shops realise the majority of people don't want self checkouts?
@WarMonitor3 Looking at the comments tells me a bunch of sheep reply
Where does it say Iran has exclusive authority over the straits
Its a known international waterway that is governed by international law
Not some fleabag has been regime
BREAKING: Two U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers passed through the Strait of Hormuz today according to three U.S. officials marking the first transit of American warships through the waterway since the war began six weeks ago-WSJ
@WarMonitor3 The angry anti American euros in these threads make us Americans question whether we should have been helping the Russians rather than these cuckedeuros all along.
BREAKING: During rescue operations for the downed American pilot B1-Bombers released over 100 2000 pound bombs on nearby Iranian positions to provide covering fire for the special forces operation-FOX
🚨 JUST IN: Iran is STUNNED at just how decisively America exploded our own equipment just to keep them from salvaging it
It’s so huge the aircraft shape is scorched into the ground!
NO MAN LEFT BEHIND, no spoils for our enemies! 🇺🇸
As US military Aircraft are forced to "fly around" European airspace to Iran-
What would those European countries (and NATO Allies") do exactly, if the Americans just flew over them anyway?
Think about it.
He’s brilliant. All he has to do is say something utterly ridiculous and it sets all the right people in a spin. They’ve created so much noise that nobody knows what the plan of action is. They’ve brought every nation into this without lifting a finger. NATO now has to look closely at itself. Russia and China have to check their position in this world. It’s amazing the repercussions of 7th October.
@Twisted_Fish90@ACarl8610@WarMonitor3 It's normal for licensors to have staff at foreign facilities, oil and gas in Saudi Arabia is an excellent example of this as well.
