Our regulatory "regime" protects us from a couple of billionaires taking over our economy and our politics like has happened in the US. It's a great long term investment. (37)
Hilarious you think Europe isn't controlled by a handful of oligarchs. (-19)

Take the train to flat depot and then haul your mulch up 6 flights of stairs to your tenement with no air conditioner or washer/dryer.

Take the tube to flat depot, passed the coffee cup inspection checkpoint. Buy fancy silverware have to pass a background check for the butter knife. Drag me mulch and me orange tipped butter knife out flat depot when a Muslim peace van runs me over. Utter dying "fookin muslims" red-head Bobby runs over puts a knee on my broken rib cage. Muhammad climbs out of the car and stabs him in the neck and the female police officer holding the only gun shoots a parishioner behind the 87 lb Muslim immigrant

Actually we have a way too small for some reason washer and dryer that just makes clothes damp, both inscribed with some heathen language and shared between 8 families. It's located in our dank below ground basement. Chud.

Lol that reminds me of when I stayed with my buddy in a suburb outside Paris. It was like a 3 story home and the bottom 'basement' was reserved for hanging damp clothes to uhhh stay damp? Felt a little medieval but his family was nice

You still have to bribe the doctors if you want any competent medical professional.

also if you see someone get hit by a car and then render aid, your obligated to help them after.

I wouldn't even say my one wagie job was super skilled and I got vacation and healthcare whenever I went full time.
During part time I still got "vacation" but it would accrue for 8hrs and then cash out as an extra day. Sick time was always generous after six months or so.
