Every you buy gas, pay taxes on your vehicle (or a registration fee), those taxes are theoretically meant to only address infrastructure.

I love when people reference the tax scheme instituted during the Great Depression as some sort of excellent policy when we know that none of FDR’s policies worked and the only thing that alleviated the depression was war and the subsequent fact that all the international competitors had their factories turned into

As opposed to the long drawn out hurt that the tariffs have already been causing?

Why? Germany will be the one to take the hit and they functionally control the EU. If the tariffs coincide with the EU punishing the UK for Brexit via tariffs, Germany will lose the majority of its export market. The UK and US make up the majority of their export sales.

It depends on the goal of the tariff. If the point is to make the tariff so high that the EU says fuck it and negotiates to lower their auto tariffs, that is good. If it is just a signal to his base, that is bad. 

These are trade deals, not necessarily free trade deals given that quick google shows there are still some tariffs between various of the nations you mentioned. There is a difference. Free trade means zero barriers. Negotiated trade deals mean that you negotiated where you will and won’t be protectionist.

It is literally unknowable until you remove the perverse incentives around the purchasing prices.

The common market was creates in the 1950s. The ECC has set trade policy for members since then. The ECC eventually became the Union. 

I am sure Germany would like nothing better than to zero out all tarriff.”

Tariffs are objectively bad, but how do you respond to groups that already have substantial protective tariffs on your products? Because the EU already has 10% tariffs on US cars and they sell more imported cars to us than the other way around. One of the things that isn’t mentioned is that the EU is a protectionist

The real key is to have your partner tucker out the kids on the lead up to the trip. Then instead of leaving in the morning, leave at 10 or 11 at night. Kids will sleep until morning and the trip is almost done when you get there. 

Nope. I’m just basing his action cred on his other fine (assuming you skip the political nature of the plot) action movie.

It would be worse if Jackie ever responded: Why not both?

The sauces? I’m not making a general statement of restaurant quality. Canes Sauce and Zaxby’s sauce are the same. 5 parts mayo, 1 part ketchup, dash of cajun seasoning. 

This. I’m not sorry my unwanted change may result in money you will eventually take to cointstar. 

These are some of the most esoteric deep pulls in terms of chain restaurants. I haven’t seen an open Roy Rogers since 1992. 

Is this a regional chain? I’ve never been. 

Are they more chips with a hint of lime or Doritos?

This is the only acceptable answer. 

They are the same.
