I’d vote to create the EAU. I think there’s a real thirst for having some sanity over here.

As a EU citizen - no thanks, unless you get like ten seats in the EU parliament at most.

As a Californian, I am fully used to being horrifically underrepresented proportionally in national politics, danke. Tax our billionaires. Give us healthcare. Make us use public transportation and drive on better roads. Do your worst. I triple dog dare you.

Tax our billionaires.

They'd probably bribe half the EU parliament and make it reduce the taxes in EU instead.

Honestly can't blame you.

It’s a pun to discreetly signal that I welcome our new French overlords.
