In Dutch a chair is a stoel, pronounced stool.

Italians are the laziest cooks. They took half their culinary tradition from Asia, and the other half from America.

So you are saying it ought to be this way or it already is?

In the Netherlands it’s quite common to receive €0.21 per km tax free (which doesn’t cover the cost of the commute unless you ride a bicycle). I have a job that comes with an EV as a perk, including all charging expenses for company and private use both. I only have to pay for charging outside of the Netherlands. I do pay an extra tax for private use, but since it’s an EV that’s not a big amount at the moment. Some people receive a country wide public transit pass as a perk.

So if your claim is that there is no commute compensation anywhere in Europe, you’re wrong. If you say it ought not to exist, well then I simply disagree.

Metal tires and metal roads. Kind of slippery, so we might need to make some sort of ridges to guide our vehicle’s direction. Stopping will still be hard, but if we just lock cars together and do it all at once it might be feasible.

Well, I don’t. I’m just a tourist here in the US and Canada. You could probably criticize us for owning two cars in the Netherlands, but we’re trimming it down to one company car (with private use included) as soon as we can.

We only tow my wife’s work trailer and camper trailer (converted to coffee stand). But we don’t use a stupidly large car for that.

The camping trailers I see here in NA are absolutely fucking huge and perhaps quite a bit heavier built? I have no problem whatsoever towing a small European camper trailer with my wife’s Mazda 2 (which has a hitch as opposed to my electric car which can’t tow shit).
