  • Elizabeth Eckford had the protection of the federal government (this is it you ignore that she got PTSD so bag from the experience she attempted suicide btw).

    Today’s federal government on the other hand is on the side of the people yelling:

    You ever hear about the Black Panthers? You know why they were so successful California and the FBI had to intervene to try to disband them? Here’s a hint:

    And you know why they were armed? Here’s another hint to how non-armed black protestors were usually dealt with in history (sfw example):

    An unarmed protest is a defenseless one with no deterrent for the aggressors. And if you’re protesting against literal Nazis, it’s not going to be peaceful. Even during Trump’s first term people were kidnapped, and he’s way more unhinged this time.





  • I should have elaborated.

    In the EU, if buying from another EU country, you just put in your VAT# to exclude VAT. But your country’s tax administration can then ask to justify a business expense. You can only claim VAT paid on foreign (non -EU) imports once doing taxes for reimbursement if it was paid.

    I have a feeling Estonia’s tax administration doesn’t ask as many questions as the Finnish one.

    That said, there’s usually an actual exception for luxury cars, if it’s for your sales people (or if you do the sales, yourself). Luxury branding can be used as a “marketing tactic” due to “presentation”. Basically, if you’re meeting with a potential customer, looking like you’re successful technically makes you look more reliable. Essentially business attire for your personal transportation.

    Not saying it’s necessarily true, but it’s actually a really old thing done in many countries.
