Germany is in a recession. 20% of German manufactured cars are sold in the UK. A No Deal Brexit means there are suddenly tariffs on all those cars, in addition to the tariffs on cars manufactured in the UK by German companies.

Why are the police objecting-this is basically their wet dream come to life. Now, they get to go back to the legislature and say “you know, since you removed the front plates, tracking criminals is much harder. To say nothing of the danger to our brave police officers.

Oh, you’d never get anything from Equifax even if you did opt-out and later on something happened .

The US refers to its colonialism as “bringing Democracy.”

Maybe I’m just out here too busy trying to pay my student loans to care where the golf clubs are supposed to go on my mid-engine sports car, but... sure.

Abandoning an animal like that is wrong, but seems they were correct to think “anyone who paints their minivan like this, will do right by the kitten.”
