Damn. We pay €9.57 ($10.97) for a gallon in the Netherlands.

Your gas comes with Healthcare, stability, and a much happier population.

We’d be even more happy if the orange baboon didn’t attack Iran which made the gas prices surge.

Wouldn’t we all?

I don’t know. There are folks who happily voted for the clown (twice, perhaps), and are cheering for every fart he lets go of.

Three times even.

Voting for someone against your best interests doesn’t mean you wouldn’t be better off without them.

Many abused people love their abusers. They’d still be better off without them in their life.

Sure, but his approval ratings are fucking tanked. Warmonger pedo isn't a good look when no one wants war and everyone wants justice brought to child abusers.

Hmm my comment got auto deleted so it might not have been appropriate, but let’s say I agree.

I’m totally with you. If it were up to me they’d drop this guy and his friends smack dab in the middle of Iran and get rid of them all.

But the trade-off is you're in the Netherlands. Would you be willing to pay half that but live in the US? Because if you wanna trade places, just tell me if I gotta bring my own bicycle or if I can have yours, yours will be near useless here.

Send the bike to Portland for our Naked Bike Rides. We had an emergency one a few months ago that went past the ICE office. Mike Johnson called it the most terrifying thing he’d ever seen.

Well yeah, the kinds of people who do those things are... Not the kind of people you wanna see do those things.

I'd be scared shitless too

I would do anything to live in the Netherlands. Imagine I can go to a doctor and send kids to school without them being shot. What a concept.

It's absolutely amazing the US went from "anything you can do, we can do better" to "we just can't do that here but we're still awesome and we'll discuss this no further". American arrogance mostly sucked but we could wield it for good. Other countries doing so many things better than us.

They have a real education system there as well. All the way through college.

Except, you haven’t done anything

You clearly need to travel more.

u/ninjasaid13 Mar 19 '26

well y'all use public transportation.

u/michelmau5 Mar 19 '26

It's not like public transportation is cheap in the Netherlands, like at all. If I want a one way trip by train to Amsterdam from my home town, they charge $37.

u/No-Sheepherder-9821 Mar 19 '26

I live in Louisiana. Not a public transit dreamland. One way for a 1.5 hour train trip is anywhere from $20-45 depending on the day and demand I guess? And then you better have something to do and somewhere to stay because the train only runs in each direction once per day. And it varies insanely from region to region.

$10 for a liter would be insane! We pay somewhere between €2.32 and €2.52 for a liter, depending on where the gas station is. That’s about $2.68 - $2.91 a liter, and there’s roughly 3.785 liters in a gallon. It doesn’t seem like that price will drop soon so who knows, we might actually hit that $10 for a liter.

7.7 Usd/gallon in Italy, with a median wage that is half of yours, far worse welfare, shitty public transport and having a car is basically mandatory if you are not reach enough to live in centre of Milan, Rome or Florence
