Having received ballots for both NL and California recently, the California one is much more accommodating, with options in many languages, detailed instructions, etc.

As wonderful as Paris is, I would rather my kids bike to school in Utrecht than in Paris...

Look, Paris is great, but it's highly doubtful it beats Utrecht on this measure.
That being said, Dutch cities are resting on their laurels and could learn from Paris (ESPECIALLY school streets)

The weird plastic paddies shouting Up The Ra when their entire connection to Ireland is getting drunk in Temple Bar once 12 years ago and having an Irish great-great granny really gets old.

The US is your enemy, you just don't know it. They think Europe is a has-been joke. And they might be right.

Europe needs to wake the fuck up and realize there is no such thing as negotiation with Trump. He's going to do what he wants no matter what. It's time to block his number, tell him to go to hell, buckle up, and do the hard work of building a genuinely independent continent instead of grovelling.

The Netherlands already has thousands and thousands of Dodge Rams. Europeans will eat them up.

Britain (and Ireland) are woefully ignorant of climate change and still think of it as a "somewhere else" problem. Planners in Ireland wouldn't let me build eaves to help shade mid-day sun and they were stunned that I could ever worry about a house being too warm. Absolute dinosaurs.

Yeah, and incredibly dangerous too. If you look at the plate it almost always starts with a "V" meaning it pays very low taxes as a business vehicle. Absurd since it's usually being used for personal reasons...

They had an absurd tax loophole where you didn't pay BPM if it was for "business" which saved 15-30k. That ended in January but they still shouldn't be able to get in at any price through the absurd Individual Vehicle Approval path

These killing machines are already murdering people in the Netherlands because of an idiotic loophole.
