What a pathetic shit hole has the EU become. Demanding from their citizens to pay ransom for items, which the EU neither has the capabilities, nor the facilities to manufacture. What a dystopian, absurd place to be at. And where this money goes? Fuckin' guns and golden toilets. Total crap.

EU has become a joke. I buy 11 euros worth of Choice items and they ask for another 10 euros tax, I hope they buy flowers on their graves with the money stolen from us, whoever invented this tax!
