Hundreds of millions is what the link said.
$26.7 billion is still less than $60 billion. That’s a difference of $33.3 billion. We could cure homelessness with that money. But instead, it goes to a bunch of overprivileged European snotnoses who despise us. Fuck them.
They’ve still got tens of billions to go before we’re equal and trade is fair to both sides. Then, we can talk about running a trade surplus and maybe make some money for ourselves. You know, like Europe has done for decades.
Pearl S. Buck’s novel Sons deals with this culture of warlordism and backstabbing. It’s the sequel to The Good Earth and is nowhere near as excellent, but still a good read. Plus it’s got Wang Lung in it again, which is good too.
Why did the media suddenly start bleating about banning gas stoves, all at once? The company behind the study is called “Carbon-Free Buildings.” That company is a partner of the World Economic Forum and has a true-believer CEO who wants to rid the world of all carbon emissions (which is impossible and would lead to mass extinction).

Hundreds of millions is peanuts.
Europe makes $60 billion every single year on trade with the US. They can easily afford to purchase some of our gas. Everyone goes on about how we’re ripping them off, but it’s a lie. Trade is supposed to be equal and benefit both parties. It just goes to show you how pampered and privileged Europeans are that they simply expect this $60 billion as a birthright and when anything decreases it even a little, they throw a temper tantrum.
Roiland made a cartoon, posted on his website, about raping, torturing, and killing children. It’s so graphic I can’t show it here. If you want to watch it (which I don’t recommend), it’s at this link. http://roilandtv.com/unbelievable-tales/ The cartoon begins with two young boys who decide to go for a swim in the ocean naked. They get into the water and one child drowns and is shown under the water bleeding and being eaten by something. It just gets worse from there.

The other boy then gets out of the water to go get a snack. A naked adult backs up toward him and defecates into the child’s mouth.
The next cartoon features a character that looks like a shriveled raisin going to his home, where he has two children tied up who are shaking and scared. Above them is a clock with a penis and a swinging testicle. The gray thing tells the children that since he’s been sexually gratified he must get rid of them.
He then takes a knife and skins one child’s face and wears it as his own while he skins the other child’s face.
In the next cartoon, a man in the park starts asking a child if he wants to see something, promising not to “stick my dick in you.” Then he pulls out a knife, stabs the child in the stomach, and proceeds to rape the knife wound while yelling “I’m f*cking the stab hole”
These are the funny “jokes” we are all supposed to be enlightened enough to understand. Raping, torturing, and killing children. This cartoon was made in 2012, long before the rumors of Hollywood pedophile rings were swirling after the #MeToo outbreak.
Oh, I think they’re perfectly aware. It’s just that they’re taking this popularity and cashing it in. If they’re not making money, then why are they allowing it?
Just look at Games Workshop. The most asshole company out there, they are literally run by lawyers. They sue players all the time and come out with new rulesets that force players to re-buy their entire collection of figurines. And yet they’re making money hand over fist.
