Monarchy. It's the 21st Century and y'all still pay people to live a lavish lifestyle because they are distantly related to some warlord from the 9th century
Then again, the people in all countries pay for the lifestyle of the politicians... in addition to the bribes they get for deciding in favor of whichever corporate and/or rich person needs a specific law passed or vetoed.
At least the monarchs do what you pay them for .... entertain you.
The King in the UK was caught with briefcases full of money declared as a 'donation'. He has also interfered in our politics including encouraging the government to buy ineffective homeopathic 'medicines'. They have also stopped the conviction of serious sex crimes royals have committed. Because the police get the power granted by royalty and can't persecute them.
At least we can vote the politicians out. Fuck monarchies.
Politicians don't do shit in America. Corporations govern the country and you can't vote them out.
Your right.
I don't want my tax dollars paying for politicans either.
I would be fine with it, if they were not allowed any other incomes during the time they get payed by the people.
Oh and of course they should be forced to do their jobs. If they don't fully attend sessions, cut their pay.
Deswegen sind die ja auch nicht in der EU
Lustig, wie jetzt im Bezug auf das Mem sowohl Norwegen als auch Großbritannien nicht in der EU sind.
Edit: Context for those who merely translated, but didn't understand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGlPbphlpBg
Nowhere in the question does it specify EU countries. It simply says European.
You're taking this too serious.
I'm referencing crane driver Ronny in Norway ("Kranplätze müssen verdichtet sein!" : crane parking needs to be condensed (ground)), a reality TV icon in German language online communities and because the quote and context applies to both Norway and the UK which are both European, but not EU countries (that's relevant because that's part of the referenced joke), I posted that comment.
Neither does your comment. So pointing out that "y'all" in this instance is not actually meant to be taken literally is worth pointing out.
SPEAK ANGLO-SAXON YOU SON OF A BITCH!
