This works. When Australian Prime Minister John Howard introduced the Goods and Services Tax (which rationalised and federalised sales tax to 10%), it was called “Little Johnny’s Retirement Fund”.
Fun fact, due to the combination of GST, Fuel Excise and Environmental Levy, Australians pay Tax on a Tax on a Tax. That said, when the Right-Wing party offered to withhold Fuel Excise as an election promise, Petrol Stations immediately put up prices by the value of the Excise.
Do it. Also treat magats like shit cos fuck them for voting for this bullshit
That is how my friend has been itemizing his proposals. It defaults to something like "tariff contingency fee" but he changes it to "Trump tax"
Naming things after politicians is a time honoured tradition :3 though it's pretty rare for them to stick for a long time.. we only have like what? Obama care, gerrymandering... and boris bikes in the UK x3
Norway has Brustadbu. Sylvia Brustad is responsible for allowing grocery stores below a certain size being open on Sundays in Norway, and now there are a lot of little stores built to that exact square footage.
Metrage. Because, you know, it's a country with a normal measurement system
I switch units as appropriate. In a thread starting with an American reference, where I'm writing in American English, I say "footage". When I actually need to measure something, I use metric.
and now there are a lot of little stores built to that exact square footage.
Sounds about right haha :3
Our social circle used to invoke Edwin Fullerton Borrie in reference to a Turd, simply because the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Borrie_Wetlands were adjacent to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Treatment_Plant
The only problem is that this kinda lets Republicans off the hook and puts it on Trump. When he's gone, they will remain. We need to remind them every day that we remember what they supported themselves. Naming something after Trump alone let's them off the hook. Don't.
Not only that. Put an item on the shelf, list both the price and the amount paid as tariffs. Label the latter "Trump Tax". Repeat with every other imported item.
